I don't know about that. What's the value of an entire print run of the Los Angeles Times? It's probably quite a bit more than the damages the court imputed to Keys.
I guess the fundamental difference driving my thinking is I believe it's futile to hand out prison sentences for crimes such as these. I'm dubious that it acts as any real deterrent to "hacking", and it waste tax-payer money.
It's also becoming clear that the plaintiffs in these cases are completely washing their hands of their own responsibility for the crime. I understand that this is common in case law such as this, but if we want to actually secure this country against real cyber criminals then we need companies to step up and take responsibility for what's happening within their networks.
