His situation was akin to you waking up one day and finding, out of nowhere, a letter in the mail telling you to come in for a 6-month jail time.
I assume that would not be a happy and acceptable morning for you, would it?
A geek was making scientific research publicly and digitally accessible. Try to personally connect to that by telling yourself how similar that is to you doing your own hobby i your spare time. Your argument says you'd be happy to have 6 months in jail for doing your own thing. (Taking such a deal requires pleading guilty to a crime.)

That's a complete misrepresentation. A reasonable person might expect there to be consequences for breaking into a closet while hiding your face from security cameras in order to retrieve a covertly installed laptop you put there to evade a network ban. That is not "out of nowhere". I'd even say it doesn't resemble my hobbies in the least.
