Hackers have only been associated with illegal activity due to the media and their definition displayed to the common users. I was around when this happened and felt that the true meaning of the term "hacker" has long since died off. If the current media displayed such hate and discrimination to lawyers as they did to hackers then it would be the exact same in today's society.

I just hope that one day hackers can once again state that they are a hacker and be proud of it in today's social society.
