Security Researchers tell court: We do what Andrew Auernheimer did
I kind of got the impression that Weev getting sent up for identity fraud was a lot like Al Capone getting it for tax evasion. Which is to say, he was a sadistic monster of a troll who delighted in ruining people's lives, but he was cunning enough to never quite cross the criminal-harassment line with anyone brave enough to press charges, so they got him on this instead.<p>It's a rotten precedent, and I can't really blame anyone for opposing it on principle, but let's do remember that Weev himself is not any kind of hero.
