Can pirates become penitents?
Why would someone boast of never being caught at illegal activities? If Hew Raymond Griffiths was smart enough to crack copyrighted software and make money off pirated copies, why wasn't he smart enough to realize that there's always someone coming along behind who is just as smart and perhaps, even smarter?
DrinkOrDie? Bandido? Those are silly names for a man now immersed in his fortieth decade. When I started to read the story I think I was expecting a much younger profile to emerge. It reminds me a bit of reading about taggers and expecting to see little kids apprehended, but then finding out the tagging was done by men in their 20s and 30s. I guess this whole mindset proves that growing older has nothing to do with real maturity and responsibility. It's a real waste of intellect and personal drive, when these folks could probably have made the world a better place. I hope they still decide to do that, at some point.
