IANAL, but the typical way it works in the US is that wealthy defendants are
found guilty, possibly suffer some consequence, and that's the end of it.
Poor defendants are found guilty and are labelled criminals for the rest of
their lives.

This user Bullmur should be carefull with the word "criminal".

Question to the lawyers on the list:
It is my understanding that "criminal" is someone who breaks the law.
microsoft seem to have been found guilty by a court in the antitrust trial,
so they seem to have broken the law.

Are microsoft criminals from legal point of view?

Or does justice work this way: if you deface a website, you are a criminal,
but if you screw most of the internet you are a hero?
