What about AT&T?
Interesting tidbit at the Washington Post about l33t 4dwarez h4x0r pleading guilty to being malicious:
John Kenneth Schiefer, 26, variously known online as "acid" and "acidstorm," agreed to plead guilty to at least four felony charges of fraud and wiretapping, charges punishable by $1.75 million in fines and nearly 60 years in prison.
That was for for 250,000 computers. When the evidence is laid out against people at AT&T, if the evidence says they defrauded and wiretapped at least 100 times that many people, what will their punishment be?
I'm rooting for 60 * 100 years in jail, spread evenly among the people who did the wiretapping. Or perhaps 60 * 100 years for each person, if that seems more fair.
