Didn't he also give the data he found to Gawker before notifying AT&T of the issue? That seems like a pretty key difference here, but I don't know what weev was

- _dain_ 5y ago"Conspiracy to access a computer without authorization", which was and is completely preposterous. The Gawker part is completely immaterial, it was still a total travesty of justice. The judgement was later overturned on procedural grounds rather than on the merits (which it should have been). He did nothing that merited imprisonment, and even less so his mistreatment there.
- morelisp 5y agoIt's more accurate to say it was a travesty of law, but probably not of justice.
