"Hylton Conacher"
Regardless of whether it is illegal or not to evaluate the employees via a stealth connection, we the SLE users are not the judge, jury and executioner in being able to decide whether the Romanian should be offered help or not.
There is no uniform "we SLE users" group! It's made up of individuals with a common interest in Linux.
The basic question I do not think has yet been answered and I think with all the 'fluff' on it being illegal to help someone has departed from the subject.
Whether something is illegal or not is IMO rather irrelevant for this discussion. It's much more a question of ethics, at least for me. That's why *I* would neither help someone controlling the contents of E-Mail (besides SPAM and Virus) nor setting up a stealth VNS connection. And I will applaud people like Anders for doing the same. Technical people tend to focus on the technical side alone and neglect the ethical side, so it's good to see that there are people that care and do so publicly. Philipp
