Hacker sentenced to six years with no Internet

Cause: Script kiddie receives literal banhammer by a judge gavel.

Effect: No impact whatsoever towards a more secure internet because the Law has just inspired a new wave of vigilante script kiddies to fight for the cause of pointless chaos.

Conclusion: Let the internet fight our own battles. Its all bits of zeros and ones until you put a price tag on it. If there wasnt people out there abusing the system, there wouldnt be a need to invent new ways to innovate the system.

I can't even begin to imagine how productive 6 months without internet would be.

I'd rather choose death penalty than living six years without Internet

Isn't education is mandated also by law, in most states? Does this sentence him to, in effect, no education (until 21)?

..."and he cannot use the internet for anything but education-related purposes"

ah...good catch...makes more sense

Then again, it means that he can't work in most professions until he is 21.
