If some enterprising business person is willing to pay people to stand in line all night to purchase tickets for later resale, hasn’t he performed a valuable service to those individuals who want tickets but do not want to stand in line all night?

Again, this is gross oversimplification. The brokers are using software to push to the front of the virtual line, and pushing regular consumers to the back.
If they are hacking a site that is illegal and they should be prosecuted. That has nothing to do with selling tickets at a premium.
I have seen several on this thread claim that this hacking is occurring, but no links have been provided. Do you have a source?
