I've never met weev, but from his online writings and various actions reported by others he seems like a giant asshole.
However, I wasn't commenting on his character, just the one specific action he was jailed for and how it compares to the events in this story.
In that context, modifying URLs and resubmitting them seems way more harmless to me than spoofing your caller-id to gain access to a targeted individual's voicemail and change their outgoing message.
