# Hacker Ethics

What are the ethical principles of hacking - motivation and limits

+ Access to computers - and anything which might teach you something
  about the way the world really works - should be unlimited and total.
  Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!

+ All information should be free.

+ Mistrust authority - promote decentralization.

+ Hackers should be judged by their acting, not bogus criteria such as
  degrees, age, race, or position.

+ You can create art and beauty on a computer.

+ Computers can change your life for the better.

+ Don't litter other people's data.

+ Make public data available, protect private data.
