See, this is where we bang heads ... and only because although I respect your opinion on this issue, your clear lack of actual knowledge on the subject of (well any aspect of cyber security) 'hacking' (sorry, but your reference to keyloggers made me snort) ....betrays you.
Your outrage against the principle is understandable - even based on clear ignorance of fact and mechanics)
But your lack of knowledge of the culture, environment, society and actual motives of true 'hackers' makes you look - in this paradigm - like a Catholic priest standing out side a cinema in 1964 protesting Night of the Iguana ...
Uh..Sorry, I don't know WHAT THE FUCK all of that criss-cross gobble-d-gook is suppose to mean...
Sounded like you were just saying a bunch of shit to keep from being quiet.
It's simple as this...sorry sack of shit sociopath walking down a street sees some person's home with an inferior lock on it's door. Sorry sack of shit pulls out his trusty pair of tweezers, picks inferior lock. rummmages through unsuspecting's personal shit, makes off with what they will then blames unsuspecting for the inferior lock system ('fill-in-the-blank Darwinism'

I suppose. Completely ignoring their own, criminal behavior as sociopaths are prone to do.).
There is NO DIFFERENCE between the same type of sorry sack of shit sociopath surfing down internet street sees some person's online account with inferior p/w, protection, etc. on it. Sorry sack of shit pulls out his trusty hack/crack pack, hack/cracks inferior security measure. rummmages through unsuspecting's personal shit, makes off with what they will then blames unsuspecting for the inferior password/sw protecting their system and accounts ('digital Darwinism'

Not sure what culture has to do with it and all that bullshit...it's as simple as not putting your dick-skinners where they don't belong...Otherwise they wouldn't have laws against it.
Not that every law makes sense, is relevant or has merit simply because some lot created and passed them. But it most certainly should be obvious to anyone with an atom of grey matter that if you're talking in terms of victimizing someone you're doing something wrong and 'crime' likely applies to your actions.
But as most assuredly you're some IT dood and as such you probably have the requisite God complex. Therefore regardless of sense, this probably washes over you like water off a duck's back.
Again, no never mind...enjoy your time.
