was sentenced today by United States District Judge Mark R. Kravitz in New Haven to three years of probation for conspiring to commit criminal copyright infringement. Judge Kravitz also ordered MENDEZ to perform 200 hours of community service.


That's not that bad. Is he ever allowed to touch a computer again? That's the ruling that would get me.

Yes, he is. Those kinds of rulings are no longer enforced.

Love these kinds of articles with their quotemarks for all those "fancy" "hacker" "terms". Bummer for the guy for getting caught though it could have been worse with a prison sentence.

Laughing dazz.

Yeah, thankfully the days of 'zomg, a computer hacker, he can explode your brains from his PC chair while your on the other side of the world using only a keyboard! keep him away from computers!" ...are well over Smile Everyone knows how to use a comp in 2009, so they cant use bullshit scare tactics anymore to make people scared of being a naughty pirate etc.

kinda sad for the feds that they now sentence someone to 200h community service after operation fastlink that was 5 years ago conducted...

He probably will educate people in computer lessons.. Though sentence 5 years after being busted...
