The laws against hackers and spammers are extremely lax. If someone sends me spam to my email address or hacks my computer, they are tying up MY computer and MY resources in MY house; I don't give a damn if they reside in Nigeria or The UK.

In my opinion all convictions should carry the penalty of making full restitution to each and every one of their victims. I have to waste time every few days running Spybot to keep my computer clean. They should catch the bastards and make them pay for all the time that they have wasted for everybody who has ever run a malware removal program.
