   It was said "commit a crime, serve the time? I'm pretty sure that regardless of what was done". There is a problem with this the law is the law and if you dont like it change it but dont break it mentality. Remember the Salem witch trails? If you spoke out about it, you were considered 'one of them' and punished accordingly. The same thing happens here in the US today. Its very hard to change alot of these rediculous laws that are designed to make it appear as the politicians are doing something, or to preserve the power of the rich.
   One paragraph seems particulary biased describing how relase of the code could be used by hackers for malicious activities. They dont however mention at all the many positive uses it could be used for, such as reporting the bugs, or by students to learn from for example.
   Dont get me wrong, this guy sounds like a typical selfcenterd idiot.
