The country's (argentina)Supreme Court ruled that as hacking did not harm people, animals or property it is not technically illegal, but the court added that computer crime presented a "dangerous legal void".
I don't know what to say. What brought this about was "hacktivist" and if they want to get there message across that's one thing, but I don't agree that saying it's ok. That would be like me saying it's ok for greenpeace to destroy property. There are methods and ways to get attention and solve problems, but to ruin someone's reputation, work, or property is just wrong, even if what they support is right. the article is at vnunet (http://www.vnunet.com/News/1130937) and you decide for yourself.

HUH! Short & sweet. The court probably ruled fairly, according to their laws hacking isn't illegal under Agentinian law. Sounds like they have a legal gap to fill . . .
