The Right to Read seemed to relate to a lot to the modern trend of stealing products over the internet. A lot of people nowadays do not pay for things such as music, movies, and programs because of it's availability for free. I feel as though the punishments for piracy is outrageous, stealing software and other electronic data isn't really hurting anyone. If anything it's helping because it's showing that maybe online security should tighten up more. Referencing last week's hacker article, many professional hackers love the feeling of cracking the system and getting what they want, some people feel the same away about being able to get something for free that would of costed them money out their pocket.
While reading the Welcome to Sealand. Now Bugger Off. article. I felt like it was a little hypocritical for HavenCo to be against spam and cyber sabotage to be off limits but still support things such as porn, online gambling, and pyramid schemes, if anything get rid of it all. The article did grab my attention but a lot of it seemed random to me. Going from the topic of cyber punks to guns to helicopters, I was very confused. I didn't really gain an understanding on this subject due to its jumping from point to point.
