Kevin mitnick was very annoying. And he stole time on gov't owned machines. He was not a hardened criminal. The prosecutors did make him famous for no real purpose. This is a similar witch hunt. I know about kevin. It was my
machine he broke into.

Guilty Verdict in Cyberbullying Case Provokes Many Questions Over
Online
Identity

This is a case of selective enforcement: Megan Meier also violated
MySpace's terms, which in June 2006 required users to be 14 years of age
or older (she was 13 at the time).

The prosecutor isn't practicing law here, he's conducting a witch- hunt,
trying to make an example out of Lori Drew.

We've seen this movie before, and we know how it ends: Kevin Mitnick
starred in it.  I cannot believe we're letting this abuse of power
happen twice in our lifetime.
