"Hackers" who access information they're not permitted to just because they can, against the law, are not to be lionized. They're nothing more than thugs and bullies, who think that their special talents give them the right to violate the rights of other people. The only difference is that their special talent is computer skills instead of physical strength.

I think if anything it's a disservice to Aaron's cause to mix him up with hackers who access information just "because they can" not to make some more meaningful point.
