Because the American legal system is insane.

  Yep. Teenagers who commit benign hacks for fun get more time than murderers. People's lives get ruined for effectively the digital form of trespass. It's pretty fucked up.

    It's ridiculously sad. Back in the day getting caught for something ended up with a job offer, and I took it! These days or anything past 2005 it seems, will end up in criminal charges. It's disappointing, really.

    Do you have a source for people getting more time than murderers for "effectively the digital form of trespass". I agree that some parts of the legal system do not work very well, but I think that's a big exaggeration.
