Amazing, I read that earlier and couldn't figure out why they would bother.

Because he broke the law perhaps? That's generally the reason for a prosecution.

Racine phoned the Federal Bureau of Investigation and told them about the hack and cooperated with the investigation, according to the plea agreement.

What a dipshit.

Sometimes breaking the law is not a bad thing.

I think his motives probably weren't truly criminal but I don't have much pity for people that fuck with someone else's website, no matter who owns the site. The guy should be locked up just for being stupid.

Ah well, then, they should change the laws people are breaking to reflect that. For now, what's illegal is still illegal and you get punished for that.

Many people probably believe that hacking porn sites should be legal too because porn sites are evil and anti-Christian.

If he called up the government and told them about it, that is the only reason he was prosecuted.

They could care less about the website being hacked.

fed prosecutors work is, the more you prosecute the quicker you get the promotion.

The hell if it's wothwhile or if the person is even guilty.

This was a gift. "Oh yeah, you hacked the website, cool."

an easy one in the promotion column.
