Would ANYBODY get 60 years for walking up to a house, testing the door handle, opening and closing the door, then walking away? Personally, I don't find it as criminal. I find it as human curiosity! Then again... I'm stupid. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-bounces@...ts.grok.org.uk [mailto:full-disclosure-bounces@...ts.grok.org.uk] On Behalf Of quispiam lepidus Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 9:25 PM To: Exibar Cc: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] [inbox] Re: Supporters urge halt to, hacker's, extradition to US Whilst I agree that criminal actions should be met with criminal consequences, 60 years for breaking (I use the term losely) into shittily protected systems is absurd. You do less time for murder in most places. I wonder, if he was an American citizen, would he have been charged with treason and executed?
