Omg, someone didn't follow the rules at a hacker convention!

That's what's kind of interesting about this entire drama. The entire conference is based on people that break systems, bend the rules, bask in pseudo outlaw rider cache, and an amorphous alternate shadow moral code.

And yet here we have Internet lawyers arguing formal contracts between contractors and suppliers. There's obviously greed involved here somewhere, and someone is being non-hacker-code compliant.

To me the public actions with the most scumminess is defcon: using security guards. Reforming molds. Using the produced badges rather than just paper badges. Thin accusations of malware at a hacker conference.

C'mon, man!

Tell me you don't know much about the culture of DEF CON without telling me that: the "security guards" here were DEF CON "Goons".
