"Hacking" becoming illegal in more countries

Apparently Germany is also getting it's own so-called anti-hacking (or the rather funny alternative used by some people, 'anti cybercrime') law, much like France did, making security research illegal and thus blocking the serious and nice guys from working on it. One wonders how people can make such flawed assumptions. Pretty much like with, for example, drugs: crime would still exist and the bad guys won't bother even to read the damned thing, after all, they're already into illegal stuff, so, it barely changes anything for them. Profit.
