It’s more unfortunate that someone who is talented uses their skills to cause damage to society. The only thing he deserves is a lesson on morality and ethics.
He’s the type of person that should be removed from society. If that means a prison cell then so be it.
The real criminals in this world are the billionaires, the CEOs, the bankers, the landlords, bosses, and cops who enforce a capitalistic society on all of us and engineer the destruction of our environment and ensure our continued wage slavery and inevitable annihilation.
And there's the communist propaganda again. Love to see it
If you really hate capitalism so much, move to china or cuba. It's easy to support communism while having the luxuries of capitalism.
Communism is a moneyless, classless, stateless society.
Neither China nor Cuba are communist.
The only “luxuries” capitalism provides are extreme disparity, environmental destruction, wage slavery, an inefficient and wasteful distribution of resources, and the assured extinction of humanity - but I guess it does provide countless variations of similar sugar water, mobile phones, and branded clothing.
May I interest you in the socialism of the norse?
I hear they're very good places to be.
And these variations spark competition, which leads to faster development and price competitions. If no one was competing with one another there would be need to inovate, so things like phones would most likely not exist yet let alone ever exist.
And your "he damaged a corporation so he needs to be removed from society" is not capitalist propaganda?
If you hate communism so much, move to a corporate housing building and break your back working in an amazon warehouse for 16 hours a day. Go piss in a bottle and donate a little extra of your paycheck to your boss so he lets you use a bathroom once a week. It's easy to support capitalism while having the luxuries of an open source community driven platform loaded with leftists.
I don't love capitalism but it's the best we got and we indeed need some leftist to stop that Amazon scenario from happening. But what is going on now is just ridiculous.
Also you said that it is easy to say something like this on a open source community driven platform. I actually don't care if it's open or closed source. As long as it's not biased towards one side.
Just to be clear? Are you guys defending someone who stole data from the rightful owner without their permission.
Do you guys also seriously think that this guy can be let go and not do major damage to society?
Open source software is literally communist extremism and it's working.
I forgot to add this.
And your “he damaged a corporation so he needs to be removed from society” is not capitalist propaganda?
That's not propaganda, it's the current law. You might not agree with it, I also don't agree with all laws. But this is pretty basic and unbiased, you repeatedly steal from someone so you should be removed
