Hackers and Lawyers

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

The media certainly have a role in this - I agree.

I have a feeling this is somewhat also related to complexity.  Most people probably won't understand the technicalities of either, but hackers are often related to robbers or similar who break into premises without owners' permissions, thus easy for the masses to understand the consequences.  However, explaining loopholes in law is perhaps a more foreign concept that doesn't quite easily translate to something people understand.

I dunno, that's what I think.
