Cyber Crime and Punishment (generational divides)

While I was searching for the Ellen Goodman editorial in the last post, I stumbled upon a more recent article. I see more clearly the generational divide in regards to cyber-activities, specifically illegal file sharing and worm/virus/popup ad distribution.

If anyone wants a over-30, non-academic perspective, here's one.

Favorite line and most relevant to the debate: "So there has to be something between 10 years in jail and getting sent to your room."
