So the same people who support Silk Road and black markets suddenly say, "Yeah, Fuck Kevin Mitnick!" because he's a capitalist and using essentially the same system to make some money??
Who says it's the same people? Because it's people on the same site?
If you treat the commenters here as a single entity you'll really hurt your head trying to make sense of the HN consensus. There often isn't one because so much of this boils down to opinions about and attitudes towards governments, economics, personal responsibility, corporate responsibility, and laws.
The difference is that most of those people are not calling for any government interference. Otherwise that would be humorous given that governments and their no-trace-back shell companies are the largest clients. They simply disagree ethically through free speech.
