Re: Publishing exploit code ruled illegal in France?

[Liu Die Yu <liudieyu () umbrella name>]

nothing would have happened to the hacker, if he had not published his 
eye-catching stuff.

the corporation wanted to punish this hacker because he somehow ruined 
their reputation ... and they did it successfully.

now french guys will think twice before publishing eye-catching 
stuff("i'm using illegal software?", "should i hide myself?", etc) ... 
such fear and sense of sin is what software vendors want.
