What do we gain by putting this guy in a jail for life?
Mandatory government employment in our cyber branches, if he thinks of releasing any inside files, life.
[QUOTE=Laferio;38581834]maybe not LIFE, but I'd say at the least 6-8 years.[/QUOTE]
do you know what 6 years in prison is
Lul this guy is fucked.
30 years to life? that seems pretty extreme considering what he's done
hell, even something like 10 years is pushing it, it's not like anyone died as a result of their actions

Oh great, now I imagine the guy pictured in OP yelled "HACK THE PLANET!!" as he was arrested.
Also wet t-shirt tomboy-ish Angelina Jolie :q:

But a bunch of rich and extremely powerful white people were publicly embarrassed, that's the worst crime I could possibly imagine.
Ah lulzsec, the shit that scared everyone's computer security last summer. It was fun while it lasted for them, pissed off a lotta people but at least security today is better because of this, right?
I understand he was an asshole but life in prison is overkill
Haha what a bunch of jackasses. With all that shit they were pulling, what did they truly accomplish other than ruining their lives, and other people's days?
Hope it was worth the "Lulz."

And, you know, those thousands of emails and passwords of random people they released.
Life in prison in way too excessive.
Life in prison for the lulz
[QUOTE=Matt-;38581984]Assault, hardly a few months. Murder, a few decades. Taking down an insecure website, a life time.
What is this shit.[/QUOTE]
Embarassing those with power and exposing the shady things they're up to is a capital offense in this country.
In most other countries, they just hire a hitman or something and no one ever sees you again or you're murdered very publicly (like the guy who exposed the dairies putting melamine in milk in China just recently). Here, we're a little more 'civilized' than that so they use the massive bureaucracy we've built and get them to unperson people for us. No blood on your hands and you have the high ground, allowing you to spin the facts and make you look like the victim.
9/11 and the absurd amounts of fearmongering have been a godsend for those who wish to keep their shady business a secret. The ability to label people who use the gift of technology to expose corruption and graft as 'domestic terrorists' and 'threats to national security' goes a long way in keeping the public in the dark about things they aren't supposed to know.

Have to break a few eggs to make an omelette, needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few, etc.
They did act like a bunch of immature jackasses about it though.
Also, apparently there is a huge conflict of interest going on as the wife of the judge assigned to this case was one of the people exposed in the hack.
[QUOTE=-Get_A_Life-;38581774]They deserve some jail time, but seriously, life time over this?[/QUOTE]
I have a hard time understanding life sentences for anything other than crimes directly against a person like murder or abuse.
1 day of prison would be enough to set this kid straight

[QUOTE=Mingebox;38583041]And, you know, those thousands of emails and passwords of random people they released.[/QUOTE]Passwords, maybe, but emails, what the hell is wrong with releasing emails? By your logic half the journalistic community should be sent to prison, possibly for life, but you're probably too stupid to even realize the negative consequences that society would suffer from, for something like that.

Some crimes can affect multiple people.

So violating people's rights "for the greater good" is only bad when the government does it? :downs:

Uh, because the passwords were to those emails?
[QUOTE=Ardosos;38583805]Some crimes can affect multiple people.[/QUOTE]
I understand the gravity of crimes that indirectly cause a whole lot of damage, such as those that hurt the economy, but we need to keep in mind that giving them a severe punishment doesn't undo what they did. Something like 20 years without parole would be a pretty big deal. Those people aren't an immediate danger to everyone else, they just need to be banned from their profession and get a swift kick in the face.
It feels good knowing I can murder someone and get a lighter sentence than a hacker or pirate.

No I'm pretty sure you're still in for life when you murder someone for no reason.
[QUOTE=Mike42012;38584601]It feels good knowing I can murder someone and get a lighter sentence than a hacker or pirate.[/QUOTE]
Depends on the murder, and in what state.
[QUOTE=wug;38581687]Yay. No more of this lulzsec shit.[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry, but how come people are agreeing with this? I thought everyone here was pro-information, if not then what the fuck was all the rage against ACTA?

If you don't want to risk life in prison, don't do shit that can have penalties of up to life in prison. That's the risk this guy took.
Or, don't get caught at least.

So you're saying I can hack companies and legally be punished at the same level as a murderer?

If I remember correctly, someone ratted him out so they could be released.

Yeah, fuck bradley manning, he should get the chair except it's too good for him. Isn't life so much easier when we have our government to tell us who the bad guys are?
