Only if you're willing to federally prosecute every person who ever told a website that they were over 18 or 21 if they were not in fact over 18 or 21. Fraud is fraud and justice is blind, right?



Sneaking into an R rated movie. Stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from pension funds. Yep, pretty much the same thing.

If you want to argue that different crimes are different I'm all for it. But if you're going to do that, then please explain to me how Weev not releasing the information publicly is so heinous as to deserve years in prison and a fine worth a substantial fraction of a house.
