The only thing I've heard that's pretty black and white wrong is that he
circumvented MIT's network security (who'd already tried to stop him) by
plugging his laptop directly into a network closet and hiding his laptop in
the closet. They found it and that's how they caught him.

The content itself should have been open, but how he got it was a little
less legitimate. Still though, the punishment doesn't clearly fit the crime.
