Roundtable Wrap-Up: RT 3-Tuesday Part 2

We focused on a revolutionary idea of providing letter of marques to hackers. This would in turn, privatize the hacking industry and force hackers to get a nation state as a patron. Just like the Golden Age of Piracy, in which piracy was considered a crime against humanity; we now live in a time where hacking could be considered a crime against humanity as a result needs to regulated or destroyed.

This led to the problem of establishing legitimacy for nation states. Who would regulate these letters of marques and would certain organizations such as NGOs get to the right to issue out these letters of commissions to hackers?
