Just yesterday, a security researcher by the name of Andrew weev Auernheimer got some terrible news; he'd been sentenced to 41 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release and a bill for $73,000 in restitution to AT&T, which he was to pay along with his co-defendant, Daniel Spitler.
