The sentence doesn't seem just. Why not just restrict him from electronic devices like what happened to ZeroCool? Surely there are better solutions that putting him in a psych ward for life or until he is 'cured'.

RTFA. They tried restricting him, and he used a fire stick and a a phone to commit another major breach while out on bail. Then he told the court that he planned to keep hacking if he was released again. He wasn’t sentenced as such. He was determined to be mentally unfit, and put under confined treatment until he no longer poses a threat.

  > RTFA. They tried restricting him, and he used a fire stick and a a phone to commit another major breach while out on bail. Then he told the court that he planned to keep hacking if he was released again. I did RTFA. I'm saying he could have been denied access to any electronic devices without supervision, which I think would be a better alternative.

    define "electronic devices." What about credit cards? aTMs? Self-service checkouts? PIN pads (the things Europeans have to use in stores to pay by card)? Ticket machines and turnstiles? cars? radios? TVS? All of these sound pretty harmless and are necessary to have a life these days, but he did demonstrate that he can use a TV for hacking.

Smartphones and computers, anything with a keyboard and internet connection, and sufficient freedom to go anywhere eon the internet from the device. > (the things Europeans have to use in stores to pay by card I mean those are in every country. PINs are not always needed for credit card purchases but they are for debit card purchases. > but he did demonstrate that he can use a TV for hacking. A smart TV in conjunction with a phone and a firestick. No reason he couldn't have a dumb TV.

        How can you possibly restrict someone from using electronic devices? This sounds entirely unenforceable without imprisonment.

        There has been such enforcement while people are on probation, I don't see why it couldn't be longterm.

        That requires voluntary compliance from the offender. He was already released on bail with that condition, and that's when he hacked Rockstar. He has also told the court that he would continue hacking if released.

        > That requires voluntary compliance from the offender. Not it doesn't, it just requires more supervision from his probation officer or whatever. Put him on house arrest with an ankle bracelet, it's still better than being in a psych ward.
