Eye, honestly I'm not bragging here, but is it really all that shocking that there are lots of people that DON'T do that?
(Except one thing, I have in fact read things pertaining to hacking, because it's interesting from a technological standpoint. All the stuff I read that's interesting is fully usable outside of this underworld. I have never heard of the anarchist's cookbook though, though I can imagine it's full of a total misunderstanding of what chaos truly is, and the fact that all chaos inevitably leads to order. That's not illegal though, because we aren't in a totalitarian dictatorship. Don't equate reading ABOUT it with doing it, like you are doing.)
It's EASY to not do that stuff, I manage because I'm basically too LAZY to try and find all that stuff. Also, I'm not a fan of music in general so I'd have no motivation to download a CD before it came out, what with never knowing about a song until I hear it on the radio or something.
Listen, stealing and attacking other people's computers is NOT a minor thing. Oddly enough, a lot of these virus makers defend themselves by claiming they are helping to create more secure and better anti-virus programs. What a stupid selfish and self-deceptive line of reasoning! We wouldn't even NEED anti-virus programs if it wasn't for them!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
