Thanks for the added details. (Yes, there's more than enough to try to remember these days.) Agreed on Brown's sentence. The DDOS attack was a dumb stunt. But

Thanks for the added details. (Yes, there's more than enough to try to remember these days.) Agreed on Brown's sentence. The DDOS attack was a dumb stunt. But that doesn't explain Gottesfeld's current (gagged) situation. Both remind me of Aaron Schwarz, another example of the punishment not fitting the crime. But he was not a journalist; that part is more concerning.

Aaron Swartz did nothing resembling what Gottesfeld did; the comparison is outrageously unfair to him.

  No such comparison was made. In case you didn't deliberately miss the outrageous point: when it comes to the Feds, often the persecution does not fit the crime, but rather some "make an example of them" agenda. It's nothing new, you're probably old enough to remember Operation Sundevil.
