White hat or black hat? Firefox hacking tool Firesheep raises ethical concerns

Under law? I mean, I know there's a similar law where I live (Greece) for prostitution, and it's equally ridiculous. Tools, the objects the article is so adamant to categorize Firesheep under (and rightly so), are lifeless, inanimate assistants to whatever purposes a human puts their mind on.

I think it's downright ridiculous to blame a tool, or a tool maker for that matter, for the actions of its users.
