The US Attorney's Office quote for 35 years only lists 4 charges, not all the
additional charges that were added on later:
AARON SWARTZ, 24, was
charged in an indictment with wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully obtaining
information from a protected computer, and recklessly damaging a protected
computer. If convicted on these charges, SWARTZ faces up to 35 years in prison,
to be followed by three years of supervised release, restitution, forfeiture and
a fine of up to $1 million.

United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz said, “Stealing is
stealing whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take
documents, data or dollars. It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell
what you have stolen or give it away.”
Oritz: How about Sony's
decision to steal functionality from the PS3 I Legally purchased?
If I
didn't upgrade I was forced to have the blueray player become quickly outdated
and eventually no longer function to play the new Blue Ray movies I purchased.
I've got over 1,000 movies in my personal library, all bought and original dvd's
and bluerays.
But choosing to upgrade I lost the functionality of
installing Linux on it. That was the primary purpose I bought it
for!
And I'm not the only victim of Sony's decision. There's many like
me. I'd like to see the zeal you exercised in targeting a private individual
accessing public domain documents to be targeted at a Corporation who is
stealing from private individuals.
