DG>>> Well, there you go. You revealed your plans... What does the law have to do with it? Moral
DG>> principles do not exist for you?

EM>> (1) It is extremely strange to hear from a hacker ranting about
EM>> moral principles.

DG> Well, listen. Cheer up ;) By the way, why did you write the word
DG> “hacker” with one “k” in this case? Was I mistaken, or is it an echo of the crazy theory “Hackers
DG> are not hackers, not hackers, not hacks” from O#3? ;))
?????? Is there something I didn't understand? Do you think that article is “crazy”????
Well, then turn to Sergei Novikov. He, as an expert in English, will explain to you how mistaken you are. If this doesn’t help you, then... then I’m afraid, my friend, you
are facing either the Nobel Prize in the field of linguistics, or the diagnosis of “delusions of grandeur.”
And you agree with the article from Oberon-3, which says that “hackers really” do not act as the “gray man in the street” thinks about them, and that
do they have their own morals?
If not, then it’s even more so “it’s extremely strange to hear this from a hacker.”

EM>> (2) “Only STEP has rights.” Personally, I see in this phrase
EM>> a link tolegislation, since in such matters I am accustomed to rely
EM>> on the letter and spirit of the law, and not on someone’s speculation.

DG> Link to legislation? Please. Step hasn't registered the name,
DG> means you can steal?
Yes-ah-ah. Yes, brother, you are generally good at jurisprudence. The presence or absence of theft is determined by the court and in accordance with the law. If any object, for a number of reasons, is not protected by law, then... then there can be no talk of any theft.

DG> Well, try... And if the door to someone else's apartment is open
DG>, you won't pass by either, you'll definitely look in?
But this is already protected by law. An extremely unfortunate example.
Try to give another one.

Good luck! Evgeny.
