Today, the law is considered more pure technicality than moral edifice - whether one is talking about lawyers, tax avoiders or looters. After the putative 'death of god' (ie. the birth of science - mechanical and informatic) its prohibitions look more like locks/phones that need 'cracking'. Young people's experience of consumer hardware and software teach the lesson: They are used to the passing parade of outmoded operating systems – Windows 97, Snow Leopard etc. This is just a basic fact of consumer technology. The perspective is only compounded by the massive culture of loopholes – the exploit – known not just to hackers but to sub-hackers and, effectively, most youth in the West. Justice has been collapsed into material, ultimately disposable if desire is strong enough.

You're starting to wander into speculation, mon ami, when what you really need to do is start gathering serious masses of data/evidence related to your initial, and I daresay brilliantly original, insights. I know, I know, I know, easier said than done, especially with the group you're trying to understand. Yet I think you ought to start trying to get interviews, or something like that, before the French-style generalisations take over. And they will, because they're such fun to make (this I say living in the rue d'Ulm this year -- the habit's as contagious as herpes at a Club Med)....
