Surely this whole approach has been wrong. Virus distribution is an act of vandalism and attention-seeking. I suggest it would have been better to pick a comparable act of physical damage and impose a corresponding sentence. If we list a few crimes we can imagine:

1) breaking a window
2) spending a night burning parked cars
3) building a fleet of radio-controlled bulldozers,
using them to knock down a city with millions
homeless and risk to thousands of lives

I'd rate most intentional virus distribution around the
car-burning region.
