If only they asked questions like that in philosophy class! I'd say no, punk requires a wall to push against. The question of whether we still have a Man to stick it to - I'd say yes. And by Man, I mean a force that is either irresponsible with their power or got their power illegitimately or simply doing bad things with their power. Plenty of that around, and so much of it just goes ignored or worse, copied for personal gain.

I'm just finishing up Schnier's - A Hacker's Mind - and it's a good example of where "hacking" happens these days. The force the book profiled hackers are working against are just the masses. Us. People. Which has always been around - but it makes me wonder if we as hackers of the 80s and 90s just developed a mental toolkit for corporations to use against us and then left our counterculture post empty.

Hacking, the act of using technology in ways the manufacturer or developer didn't intend, is inherently punk. The "man" is the company that puts blocks in place to keep you from doing what you want with the hardware you bought.
