  That's exactly my point - two cases that made the front page on two nerd sites doesn't substantiate the claim that "By all indication anything relating to computers, hacking or security research is considered one of the "worst" crimes in the USA. Hackers seem to be getting longer sentences then career criminals these days." The mere fact that there are just two such cases, and that everybody recites the same two cases when making such gross exaggerations as the one above, reinforces my point about living in an echo chamber.

    > such gross exaggerations Echo chamber or not, the sentences either discussed or awarded in the cases above are disproportionate and unjust.
