And another great point you made was this:he is going to pay for the the MS Blaster AND sobig virus attacks because I'm sure most people don't even know or remember the difference between the two of them. jbThis is most likely true and is very sad. Yes, the kid committed a crime, but the punishment far exceeds the crime.
The kid hasn't even been formally charged yet, much less gone to trial or been convicted, so your statement is meaningless at best.
Enron executives lie/cheat/steal, governments execute/murder/overthrow, Martha Stewart intentionally swindles stock holders out of mucho ca$h and none of these people have received the punishment that they all deserve.
Neither the Enron execs nor Martha Stewart have been to trial yet, so how can you even say this?
The sad truth is that money talks. Wealth is power in this world and if you don't have it you're just another cow in the field...being herded along by thoses who have wealth and power - it's fu3king sad...
This is quite a leap from "18 year-old arrested for creating blaster variant". Don't you think you ought to wait for the results before bemoaning them?
