Quote:Florida, USA (TMZ) - Indictment in Nude Hacking Case
50 Victims Include
Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis

The FBI just released the grand jury indictment of a man who allegedly hacked into the email accounts of 50 victims, including dozens of celebrities.

The indictment was issued against 35-year-old Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida. He was arrested this morning by FBI agents, on charges of identity theft, wiretapping and other charges.

According to federal officials, Chaney would use public information to access email accounts of his alleged victims, and then access computers and cell phones under the control of his victims.

Some of the alleged victims include Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, and celebrity stylist Simone Harouche. Some of the ill-gotten materials included naked photos.

As TMZ first reported, law enforcement sources tell us Chaney allegedly acted alone, and got no money for his alleged misdeeds -- rather, he did it for the thrill.

Chaney faces 121 years in federal prison if convicted on all counts.

How much do you reckon this guy would have got if he hacked in to the accounts of normal people? Not 121 fucking years, fuck celebrities, the day they all fucking die of anthrax is the day I'll be finally happy

121/50 = 2.42 years per charge. That seems pretty reasonable to me, considering he probably broke federal wiretap laws to get at those emails.

Quote:Were you trying to make a comment on the prison system?

Quote: Not intentionally. The thought of being convicted of a crime you didn't commit, and spending your life in jail, is absolutely terrifying. When I was writing the book, I wasn't attempting to make any political point or statement about the prison system in the UK or US. I wanted it to be a horror story, pure and simple. In fact, the biggest problem I thought readers would have with the book was believing that a teenager could be sentenced to life without possibility of parole. It was only after I'd finished Lockdown that I read an article about teenagers in the States who had suffered this exact fate-literally locked away for the rest of their lives. It is a tragic and distressing thought that, for some young people, there is no second chance. (of course, you can say the same about their victims...). I'm not sure if any of these individuals were wrongly convicted, but if so, I can't imagine a worse nightmare.
I don't think the prison system is perfect, I don't think there is as much focus on rehabilitation as there needs to be. And whilst real prisons aren't full of monsters and mutant dogs, they do all seem to be based on an atmosphere of terror and violence. But, like I say, I'm no expert on the matter and would never pretend to be. Part of what I wanted to show was that the label of "criminal" isn't so clean-cut as most people think. Alex is a criminal, he's not a nice guy to start with, but he's not a killer. It's only when he gets sent to Furnace that he is forced to commit the crimes he was accused of, and only then to stay alive. Alex changes so much during the course of the series, for better and for worse, and maybe that's the point - people can change, we need to help them change for the better before it's too late.

Murderers get lighter sentences than that.

And they shouldn't. Anyone who kills another human being with intent and premeditation at the very least should never be allowed to see the light of day again. Their victim certainly won't, so why should they
