The man is a heroic martyr, who risked everything to set knowledge free. (Knowledge most of which was produced at the public's expense!)

He may very well die in prison.

Or perhaps he will be forced to publicly recant and merely be forbidden from using computers. I hope that in the latter case he will have the good sense to emigrate.

One day, his tormentors will be harshly punished. Unless, of course, "the future is a boot stamping on a human face — forever."

"Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting advocates of freedom in prisons. Intellectual property is to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th."
