| | We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. |

The Internet |
| | After a short period during the mid-nineties, the "short summer of the Internet", with its utopian promises, rising commercialism and radical cybercultures, a massification of the Net set in.

Potential customers are only interesting because of their market profile. |
