Its the same as if I worked for Verizon and routed all the phone numbers for San Francisco to my desk instead. Sure it works fine for everyone using AT&T, Sprint, etc. but it breaks the spirit of how the phone network should work (a central registry hands out blocks of phone numbers just like the Internet) and is in general a douchebag thing to do.

No, that's not the same.

Having a 5.x.x.x address assigned to your machine doesn't make all Internet traffic for that address go to your box. You either don't understand the concept of routing domains or you just feel like trashing Hamachi in general.

At no point did I make that claim. Please re-read with a critical eye.

Hamachi is effectively null routing legitimate users of the space within their network.
