4. Eric Corley (AKA Emmanuel Goldstein)

In 1984, Eric Corley founded '2600 Magazine,' one of the world's most popular hacker publications. He was named a defendant in the DeCSS (a computer program that could decrypt encrypted DVDs) case in 1999 after the 2600 Web site (2600.com) posted links to the software. The movie industry obviously wasn't pleased, and Corley ultimately lost in court. Corley continues publishing '2600' today and hosts several radio shows.
