One strike and you're out when the damage was not physical, trade secrets, or military secrets does not seem fair.
While the law is rarely "fair" I do agree with you 100%. There was no real damage done, unlike what may have happened had this exploit been uncovered by someone with more malicious intent. Also, in this day and age, how can you really keep someone from using a "computer". Does that also mean no cellphone, ipod, atm, cash register etc....?
