In my opinion, this is just a sad attempt to
deflect responsibility away from Microsoft Corporation. Yeah, the kid is
quite foolish for making himself such an easy scapegoat...but I'm sure the
prosecutors will push for more punishment than he deserves since the
ORIGINAL virus writer(s) have not been named. Now, every asshole in
America will be talking about this kid at work, dinner parties, vacation,
etc. I can just see it now...
- "Did you hear about the kid in Minnesota that
wrote that virus? Remember...you couldn't turn on your computer because it
kept rebooting?"
- "Oh yeah...I had to pay $50 to get that
fixed at Joe's computer shop...they caught the guy?"
- "Yeah...hes in big trouble"
The problem is that governments and corporations
own the media and this story is not going to be represented in a fair way to
John Q. Public. I feel very sorry for the kid...he's only in high school
and now he'll probably have a criminal record (federal).
