Abstract

The current study presents a content analysis of articles, editorials, short stories, and book reviews from the widely read and disseminated hacker zine 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, which were examined for author discussions of governments, law, law enforcement, and government officials. A total of five themes were uncovered. The first three themes are part of a hacker critique of governments that describe these institutions as controlling, as incompetent or inadequate, and as creators of collateral damage. Then, exceptions to the hacker critique are presented and their significance assessed. Finally, solutions to the problems the authors discuss are presented.
