Probably a good suggestion if you're just playing.  Alternatively, you
could try sudo chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/002/008 and might then be able to
continue as a normal user.

If you want to do it permanently/properly, you'll probably need to
tinker with the parts of the system that assign UID/GID on device
creation (udev) and maybe also security components (pam, SELinux, etc).
 YMMV depending on distribution.

Cheers,

Mike.
