Re: VPN providers and any providers in general...

Thanks for the input, I will be putting this as a debate soon for thew Law
Society in the Uni I attend, to see what the legal guys think.

The issue in the example is not fraud, but damage done to the servers (lets
assume root/deface) and perhaps leaking of stolen data - the case I am using
as an example would be, for example, the "LulzSec" breaches. How hard would
they get f*cked on an international scale if arrested? How many countries
will try extradite them?

In my opinion, they should be simply charged, tried and convicted in their
country of residence and be done with it - there is no benefit to society as
a whole to be gained from hanging them three or four times a piece, as I
reckon given a good shock and such, they come out with a newfound respect
for authority and may even be of some benefit to the security community and
the community as a whole. Locking them up merely turns them further toward
criminal lives - and remember, all hackers *have* potential to do good as
well as evil, it is just a matter of their choice. Given a *shove* toward
the right decision is more beneficial in the end.

"Discuss"...

(No, seriously, I wonder what your opinions are on rehabilitative rather
than punitative measures to be taken against criminal hackers, assuming
fraud was *not* involved, and what benefit they can be to the community and
whether it outweighs the negative effects of not making examples of them).
