I was just thinking, I know spam is a big problem, and all that, but reading the article, I don't know. I hate to sound schizophrenic, but I mean, surely these guys are not "hardened criminals". They're trying to make a buck in a time when it's increasingly difficult to do so. And, again, sure, they're killing other people's computer resources in the process, and all that -- but think about it: these computers they're killing are open to the public. it's not like they broke into an info systems department and sledge hammered the place. Up to 20 years in prison? For sending a bunch of email? Like, I'm sure, everyone here, I agree that spam's got to be stopped, but is this really the way? And note the comment about the software they were hawking -- reading between the lines, I'd bet that prosecutor thinks anyone who'd use software to obscure their internet tracks, is just up to no good.
