Comparing RC5 to a porn server or a DDOS attack is ridiculous ,there is NO comparision. RC5 is a legitimate scientific project.

Well, well ... someone needs an injection of human genes don't they. Thank God, it coudn't happen here in Britain; we still see the law as something designed to protect people - not make someone some money. I'm genuinely deeply shocked that anyone would seek to defend such indefensible actions.
By the way, I believe that in most civilized places of work one is allowed to foul up once in a while. You get a warning and if you continue only then do you get the sack. I can only assume that someone seriously hates the poor guy or else is one major league asshole.
Perhaps jail and a crippling fine is too good for him ... why not hang, draw and quarter him. Don't forget to burn his house and sell any children he might have into slavery. That would teach him, right ? -

Just leave the comfort of your destop computer for one second and walk outside, in the real world. Maybe with real life experience you would post comments that are more... human. This is not a binary computer issue "right or wrong".
1. The extend of the immediate damage DOES matter. Running RC5 at work is childish compared to doing a DDOS say from work.
2. Also the long term consequences of the actions have their wight. When you compare RC5 and porn, the long term implications are obvious.
RC5 is a legitimate scientific project."
You truly are cluless.
It does NOT MATTER what he installed. It could be a program that did absolutly nothing. It is still illegial and a violation of the Accepable Usage policy.
Your ignorance amazes me.
