THANK YOU! I agree with you! Jail and even death sentences don't deter crime as much as strong moral beliefs. It IS TRUE that most criminals did not consider the consequences prior to breaking the law. Do you think the shop lifters, car thieves, and gas station robbers REALLY carefully way the consequences? Do you seriously think they are saying to themselves: "On one hand I can get about $50 bucks from the register.. on the other hand.. I could get A) shot by the clerk or B) spend 6 months in jail" NO..they aren't Tougher laws won't do SH___ towards stopping hackers. People don't commit crimes PRIMARILY 'cause they A) feel it is morally wrong and B) have more the loose from getting caught then from profiting. -- So moral beliefs and social disparity have more to do with crime then sentencing. Hackers in other countries, I bet, don't think they are gonna get caught... and have probably convinced themselves that they are only preying on those that have money...so it's not really that wrong.
