    That may be so, but IIRC he was charged with breaking into MIT’s networking room and illegally tapping into their network to get the articles:

      That also may be so, but 35 years is fucked up for that. pretty sure child porn first time offenders is like 15 to 30 so hacking MIT for stuff that should have been free gets you more jail time then a first CP offence. OK thats fucked up

        He was a defender of child porn though.

          Child pornography is not necessarily abuse.

          Yikes.

            An image of an event is not the event. That’s the reasoning there. There’s some sense of logic there, though the knowledge their abuse is used by pedophiles can absolutely be a continuing trauma for the victims.

          Assuming this is actually by the guy, here is what the linked article says about child porn:

          In the US, it is illegal to possess or distribute child pornography, apparently because doing so will encourage people to sexually abuse children.

          This is absurd logic. Child pornography is not necessarily abuse. Even if it was, preventing the distribution or posession of the evidence won’t make the abuse go away. We don’t arrest everyone with videotapes of murders, or make it illegal for TV stations to show people being killed.

          Wired has an article on how these laws destroy honest people’s lives.

      Well that’s definitely burying the lede from the OP.

      It wasn’t the sharing part they had a problem with, it was the B&E and hacking.

        Most of these guys they just offer jobs to. This was needless. No wonder China is kicking our ass on the cyber front

          The whole criminals getting job offers has never been true and will never be true. For many of such jobs you aren’t qualified if you have a criminal record, even small offenses disqualify you.

            I mean thousands of war criminals were offered jobs after ww2 so I doubt they would care about a little red tape just hire them into the black no one needs to know
