Blaster Variant Creator Pleads Guilty

Posted by simoniker on from the blasted dept.

Hello Kitty writes "Robert Parson, the 18-year-old who modified and re-released a version of Blaster last year, is on his way to being made an example of, after pleading guilty Wednesday in a Seattle courtroom. According to AP, he can now look forward to 18-36 months behind bars and -- shades of Kevin Mitnick's phantom damages -- may be expected to pay millions in restitution. And then there's that lifelong 5cr1pt k1dd13 title. of course."

    The judicial system has gotten WAY out of whack. It was bad when Mitnick (Free Kevin!) was tried, but this is just ridiculous. 18 to 36 months for doing nothing significant. Does anyone else think this is lunacy?
