So this guy got 10 years for hacking a private surveillance firm, an act which ended up with $700,000 worth of fraudulent donations being made to NFP charity groups. Ten years. The judge on the case is married to a victim of the hacking, which apparently is not a conflict of interest. Read into Hammond's biography and you will see that this guy is genuinely out to make the world a better place, not just some clown behind a keyboard. Ten years?
It won't be long before Ross Ulbricht gets given a long stint in the big house. And then more will follow. Imprisoned like Manning, cooped up in embassies like Assange, or hunted down by the Feds like Snowden.
Are these guys heroes? Are some, but not others; have I mistakenly grouped them together? Are you glad there are people out there like them? Would you support their actions if only you knew how? And where do you see 'internet activism', 'hacktivism', 'digital liberation' etc going over the next few years and beyond?
Over to you, bigfooty.
