Don't you know that taking a copy of something isn't stealing?
Serious point: I've always wondered why more people simply don't walk right out of restaurants without paying. Food at a lot of big chain restaurants and trendy, expensive spots are way overpriced -- so why do people pay? It's not like there are doormen or video cameras. Why not just walk out the front the front door?
I find it ironic that Nick Denton and the Gawker crew seem to constantly demean the mainstream press and term themselves as "bloggers" instead of "professional journalists" whenever they pull a stunt that's, well, unprofessional (see Gizmodo's CES remote control prank a few years back). So now Gawker's legal team will undoubtedly cry foul and try to hide behind the journalism protection laws? That's funny, Gawker. Truly funny.
WTF. Seriously? Slashdot is sourcing these jokers? This article is written by the same guy who was pretending to be the CTO of Devil Mountain Software and then got fired by InfoWorld after he was outed. What a tragedy....
Yeah, it's a lot different. He was using his forum at InfoWorld to shill his site/company/product without disclosing his conflict of interest.
It would be like a politician criticizing healthcare reform in a column and then not disclosing that he was on the board of directors for a Big Pharma company.
Oh wait....
This guy drags journalism through the mud, celebrates it like a pig rooting in his own feces, and then has the nerve to blame the media for blowing everything out of proportion and now is trying to claim his 15 minutes of fame like he's a GD Survivor villain. What a jerk.
Oh, and by the way, XPNet's Windows 7 data is flat-out wrong and anyone who knows anything about Windows and memory will tell you the same thing.

So RSA, Symantec and Verisign have all been hacked. Who's next? Kaspersky? Fortinet? Check Point?
