>> I have noticed a common attitude in the technology sector and amongst gamers, that if you can get away with it, then you are effectively allowed to do it, and if you're "smart," you'll heartlessly exploit all such opportunities that come your way. (Note that I am in the technology sector and would be called a "gamer" by many.)

I think that attitude is found across the population in general, not just tech, not just gamers.

I've seen way too many people take the "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" tack with a lot of things in life.
