I was an accomplished computer trespasser. I don't consider myself a thief. I copied without permission.

My hacking was all about becoming the best at circumventing security. So when I was a fugitive, I worked systems administrator jobs to make money. I wasn't stealing money or using other people's credit cards. I was doing a 9-to-5 job.

I'm a hacker, but I'm the good kind of hackers. And I've never been a criminal.

Anyway, I lived on the streets and did pretty good until I got caught stealing, what was it? I kicked in a restaurant window, went in and took all the food that I wanted, and while coming out I was grabbed.

Stealing is stealing. I don't care if it's on the Internet or you're breaking into a warehouse somewhere - it's theft.

I don't steal things. I'm rich.

The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.

I will not only not steal, but I will run after thieves.

I was right not to be afraid of any thief but myself, who will end by leaving me nothing.
