On the other side of the fence..
Granted I am the biggest advocate of not cheating, but you have to look at it from another prospective..
Joe Hacker states..
I have learned or in the process of learning how to code, either in school or I'm a smart ass mo' fo' who is here to rule the world. Where is the only place in computing society where I can enjoy competition? Gaming..
In the case of Half-Life and Valve these "providers" of a digital service actually released their product with enough development tools to re-write the game. So why the hell would I not take advantage of that lack of security? Do you go easy on someone in game because they have less ability then you do?? Then why should I go easy on you just because you can't write your own hack?
I call this the Matrix Syndrome people (mostly coders) who feel its their god given right to change things.
But are they wrong?
Or is it really just a question of ethics..

Should I take advantage of my library because they don't have security tags and security system at the doors, or should I play by the rules, get a card and pay late fees? Why should I pay late fees? I know how to take books? I can just take books, and bring them back when I'm done and I'm not hurting anyone?
I don't know...Where would society be if everyone did what ever the hell they wanted to?

Ok, so is a Library book and the rules the Library tries to enforce the same as a game license that I purchased and now own? The Library provides books on loan for the purpose of reading and returning. A software title is a purchase that you now own.Murdock wrote:Should I take advantage of my library because they don't have security tags and security system at the doors, or should I play by the rules, get a card and pay late fees?

Granted the EULA is a contract that binds you to rules your supposed to follow but when the product itself comes with the code for you to develop new version of the product. Whats to say a hack is not a new interpreted version of that product?
Lets look at it this way. You are a gearhead who loves to customize cars and then race them on the street. Is their an unspoken rule stating how much you can customize a car before its considered an unfair advantage and you are not allowed to race?
Organisations like CPL and other tournament organisers never have online competitions for the sole reason that their is no way to guarantee compliance. And as long as people know how to reverse engineer code their will always be hacks.
So do we need to find a happy "middle of the road" to have a successful public server?
