Right. Throwing people in jail for the rest of their lives is one way to
reduce profitability. And less I sound like I'm being sarcastic, sending
someone away for a decade for compromising 500,000 home machine is
probably about right. (As opposed to, say, calling someone on the phone
and tricking them into sending their source code.)
