We Want YOU, Say Hacktivists … but Is It Legal?

Not so interesting an argument here. The modern kids - ungrateful little bastards all - have decided to disrupt the flow of commerce around the world. Nice, real nice. And their cause? Free speech concerning Wikileaks and the dissemination of private an confidential information.

The way I see it, free expression is a great thing - but only if the ideas you're expressing are yours. These children have taken into their heads that all information must be freely expressed. That's just ridiculous, and doesn't allow for any sort of editing on the part of author - which is something that all responsible authors do. More importantly though, they're stealing information that doesn't belong to them and passing it along. That's not just theft, it's also espionage.

So here we have a generation that thinks everything should be free and out in the open. This means they have no experience with reality.

What should happen to them? Give them a dose of the reality they shun. Prison is a good place to start.
