I think you are right. They don't need jail time, they probably just need to pay back some of the damages they caused.
I think when I was a kid and I broke a window or did some damage to someone elses property. My parents where usually expected to pay for damages. Perhaps that that is the solution? Hmm... How much do you think that would be, Millions? Billions?
I also don't think that blaming the user isn't the answer to this. People should be alowed to carry out thier pursuit of happiness, Life and liberty and all that in relative safety. The police don't expect you to protect yourselves from
murderers, thieves, and other criminals, why should we as Infomation Technology People (The regulators and protectors of information) expect our charges (users) to protect themselves???
