true, he did invade systems without notifying the sysadmins, but lets not loose perspective here. i've seen drug dealers at my school get lighter sentancing than he did. if you consider all his contributions to the hacker community and weigh that against his crime, his sentance is BS. there isn't really a clear definition as to where hacking stops and cracking starts in his case. it's fsck'ed up.
