		arcanemachiner 11 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Tell HN: Happy Thanksgiving I consider it to be part of the hacker's spirit to bend or break unjust laws when the situation calls for it. So I wouldn't gloss over the specific law(s) he broke, so much as I would outright celebrate that he did so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerilla_Open_Access_Manifesto

I think anyone can be a hacker. Anyone can break any laws. But to kill yourself over it? It's in the extreme. I don't believe law enforcement has to take the blame for that.
