The ethics of hacktivism
HACKTIVISM: a policy of hacking, phreaking or creating technology to achieve a political or social goal.
While organizing my library of academic articles on my Mac, I discovered a paper on The ethics of hacktivism written by Julie T.C. Thomas in January 12, 2001. I thought it worthwhile to share it with you. It is short and with good references if you are interested in going further.

UPDATE 2: …and then a classic of hacker culture that I also found in my library: Raymond’s “How to become a hacker“. Which can also be found in its latest version (with active hyperlinks) on the web…
