I've contacted the reporter to see if we can setup a legal fund for this guy. It sounds like he's being bullied. This could also get a very bad precedent in Canada as this is totally absurd.

Please keep us informed on the outcome. I have written a letter to my MP and MLA as well as the MP for Halifax.

  He got back to me and said there is no legal fund at this time. These people need to hire a lawyer ASAP. Their sons life is over because he wrote a for loop with wget. for i in `seq 1 7000`; do wget http://foi.example-gov-domain.gc.ca/foi-download.cgi?id=$i; done Boom, you are not going to federal prison for 10 years!

    As an act of solidarity, we should all run it until they drop charges and fix the damn thing. They can't charge 5000 people.

I would love to help out if possible. I'm a Canadian citizen but not in Halifax, so I guess I can write my MP but I don't think they have much authority to look into a provincial matter like this.
