Why feel sorry for him? While it's true that the blame for the problem lies
mainly with Microsoft and unpatched systems, this kid is an adult and he
knew what he was doing was illegal. He also knew the potential consequences.
At some point he made the conscious decision to disregard the law and,
thereby, accept any consequences his actions might incur. Nobody forced him
to do it. It was his choice.
