HACKER POWER
.. This could be one argument against the crusade of Hollywood versus file sharers. There is just no way to stop people from tinkering with technology and initiate breakthrough innovation without tampering with their freedom from doing so. Congress will now have to walk a fine line between encouraging innovation and stifling it in the process of defending copyright. That is not to say tampering with artist's work and companies' products are justified. However, relentlessly going after hackers and tinkerers who will always be ahead of the law only punishes consumers who will bear the cost of this fight in terms of higher prices passed on by manufacturers to recoup their expenses.
