Re:Sarah Palin’s email hacker is imprisoned, against judge’s... by tptacek on Friday January 14, 2011 @01:53PM (#2104895)
I agree that there should be wider sentencing leeway in general. I think much more should be left to the discretion of judges.

I do not agree --- in fact, I militantly disagree --- with the notion that physical harm should be more severely punished than virtual harm. Crimes should be punished based on the harm they cause and based on society's interests in deterring crimes. The ease with which a crime is committed should not be a factor in its sentencing.

All crimes are going to get easier to commit this century.
