META was never intended to be the primary key for search engines. The idea that search engines should believe a page with a billion Meta tags is pretty wierd.
That's what I always believed, though I had a hard time convincing my 'Information Systems' lecturer, whom I never had a great respect for. He failed my (functional and standardised) HTML source accordinly, so perhaps meta tags are of use, if only to gain a degree...:)
Back in the day I remember removing all of the production perl/php/C scripts I had been working on for six months in one foul swoop.
Didn't have much of a problem running 'man debugfs' and working out how to retrieve the files.
nor did I have a problem aliasing 'rm' to 'rm -i' incase of future carelessness.
And if you absolutely need to keep certain files - take a friggin backup. Humans will be humans I guess and make mistakes, but it's not hard to avoid tears.
I don't think it's about morality or self-reightousness (spelling?) - Its about cutting the throats of talented people trying to make a living. Fortunately most of us live in a democratic capital society, where we can contrive a product, develop it, tweak and debug it, package it, market it, and sell it - that's the driving force which makes the industry go forward - not self proclaimed 1337 h4x0rz who wouldn't know a good hack from their mom's left breast.
I have never found any warez monkey who could justify their actions to the point where cracking proprietry code seemed reasonable. Its selfish and irresponsible - and it is good to see people put away for not taking responsiblity for their own actions. It is something which is increasingly lacking in our society....
Sorry, but *I* certainly won't be shedding any tears over this one.

If they played in their own back yard there wouldn't be any tears.
