Phone lines can be tapped without our knowledge, but its not really legal as far as I know. Mail can be intercepted and stolen. Both of these pass through entities which are not owned by the recipient or the sender. How is the stealing of digital data really any different except for its ease?
When I was younger, in order to play all those edutainment games I had to learn my way around DOS/Windows because otherwise I couldn't get the game to load. Just poking around so you can get software to work can teach you a lot.
