"hacking is breaking big power using technology creatively. it doesn’t necessarily have to be security systems.

it ist not the question wether we should realize this technology or not, the question is, do we realize it by ourselves, or should we leave it to the big industrie."

"they get very nervous about the power of people who are just networking to tell each other what's going on. giving people access to vital information is one of the elements of having a democracy."
