Should he be rewarded? Should we discourage others from this type of activity, or should we encourage them? What happens to Robert Morris will send a message to all. The message will either be: It is O.K. -or- It is not O.K. IF YOU FEEL THAT WHAT MR. MORRIS DID WAS O.K., THEN POST THE NAMES OF YOUR MACHINES TO THE NET AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BREAK INTO YOUR SYSTEMS! I don't think it was O.K., I think he should be punished, and I think that his being punished will discourage others from this type of activity in the future. And another thing! (for those that would like to hire Mr. Morris) He could have been working at YOUR company when this happened! LAW SUITS >> LAW SUITS >> LAW SUITS >> BANKRUPTCY FOR YOUR COMPANY!
