Curious to hear others thoughts on this. For comparison, the average rape sentence is 8 years (source - http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/m...ce-figures)

This guy really got hammered by the justice system.

[Wool Suit]

Ask yourself if this guy had hacked your phone would he have received 10 years.

His "hacking", by the way, really was nothing more than amateur con artist tactics and password guessing.

I fail to see how this is in any way a reasonable sentence for the crime of discovering 100% consensual nude pictures of someone famous.

[Therapsid]

I sense there's little public sympathy for hackers and computer-based crooks like the founder of Mega Upload. Might it be that the criminal justice system and society in general is harsher on beta computer nerds?

10 years is ridiculous. The man is a hero

[Anon-A-Moose]

cuz she's rich and everyone knows about it. And they wanted to make an example of him, to discourage others. But still unfair.

I can see a $500 fine or 30 days community service. Ridiculous.

[Tuthmosis]

Shows how much pussy is worth (especially the famous variety) in this society. You'd be lucky if a picture of your dick got the guy 6 months.

This is super fucked up.

BUMP!!

[TheMan]

Talk about overkill

[blackglasses]

Isn't manslaughter like 10 years and armed robbery and shit like that? He hacked some CELEB photos. Celebrity pics leak all the time
