Something probably closer related would be hacking. White hats and blacks
hats and hats in between. Who knows? Someone from a workshop might go on to
develop a free and open source lock device that performs better than any
commercial device in use now. And they'd probably be trolled by the patent
holder of "And apparatus that is better at locking doors than any
commercial device in use now."

Hey gang,
I'm late to the party, and it seems like this generated a lot of
thoughtful repsonses, but I just wanted to respond to this:

It seems to me that it is most imperative to
respond most directly to his
assertion that Workshop Weekend has a class "to teach people a skill to
violate the law". It is carefully enough worded that it is not claiming
that the workshop or the teachers are doing anything illegal.
Skills which can be used to violate the law:
driving ( allows you to speed / make illegal turns, etc )
parallel parking ( allows you to park in front of e.g. a fire hydrant )
drawing ( graffiti / destruction of property )
walking ( crossing the road at a non-intersection / jaywalking)
critical thinking ( unlimited potential for violating the law! )
best,
