  1. Sure - Locks not Good Enough So it's Not Stealing? by gadlaw · · Score: 0, Troll

    That sounds like an amoral way of looking at things. They didn't create a device for you to steal someone's bandwidth and yet you think that it's their fault for making something that someone can break into. That's illegal and these anarchists need to be put in jail and taught the meaning of being a responsible member of society.
