Totally blowing things out of proportion. 35 years? Secret Service? Just for JSTOR data...it's unusual punishment
Everything Aaron does is out of good intentions. I know, I've worked with him before.
His crime isn't "borrowing" the data...it's getting caught.
- code_duck 15y agoHis crime is also having those good intentions relate to opposing the current political establishment.
- idlewords 15y agoThere's no proof whatsoever that this arrest was politically motivated. aaronsw's furtive behavior really muddies the waters here - if my sysadmin found a similar laptop in a server closet I would also have called the cops.
- code_duck 15y agoI agree, his arrest was probably not politically motivated. However, I believe the way the authorities proceed with prosecution and punishment will be influenced by Aaron's other activities.
- RP_Joe 15y agoNo his crime was breaking into a room and placing a computer there accessing a network without permission.
