Waaiiiiit a second.. Yes, he's wrote a worm that infected quite a few computers. Yes, those things annoy me. Was it wrong of him to do that? Sure thing. Should he be slapped over his hands with a stick? Yep. But jail? Come on. Why should we lock him up and be forced to pay taxes for keeping him at the same place we keep murderers and rapeists? Do you think that he's evil? Seriously.. I think that he's a bored teenager with knowledge that was just used..well..wrong. Now his knowledge will come to good use. And ah, thanks to people like him, the windows users are updating more frequently. ;)
And anyone who trusts him with their computers is an idiot.
Really?
