Hmmm. The place where you get caned for graffiti? Let's institute caning as the punishment for illegal hacking. Problem solved.

If the other option were years of prosecution, loss of millions of dollars and the potential to be sentenced for 35 years in prison and paying millions more... I'd take the caning in a heart beat. Who wouldn't?

Just goes to show that our belief that the US justice system is more civilized than most of the rest of the world is a superficial load of horseshit.
