It's a shame they aren't equally tough on so many CEO's that loot their companies to the point of bankruptcy, leaving their employee's without jobs, stollen pension funds and their lives destroyed. What's good for the goose is certainly good for the goose keeper!
Screw that, hes a low life. He hurt other peoples lives. You should take your responsibility seriously when you have peoples businesses in your hands. This can hurt many people beyond what you see. Being an adult means learning how to take punches. He obviously wasn't very good at his job which is even more obvious when you realize he didn't even know how to cover his tracks. Another loser probably blaming the system for his failures.

You are weighing the punishment against time not damages. It doesn't matter how much time it took him to do the damages. What matters is the extent of the damages.
Correct. What he did is take income from the company and potentially employees, vendors, salesman etc. That basically equates to theft since the effect is the same.

A fine is enough, you shouldnt imprison a human being for some lost paper money.

This is an issue of a company being completely unprepared. I work in IT and any time a sys admin is going to be let go, one of us knows a week in advance in preparation of shutting down internal and external access they may have to any of the systems. This includes changing the passwords for any administrator account. Companies need to be prepared when firing any of their IT administrators. If you only have 1 sys admin, bring in a contractor in the interim so that you are aware of what your plan needs to be.

Most of us would like to do this to their boss on the last day! But wow! The cost!
The quick thrill, doesn't out weigh the consequences! Ouch! Hard to think clearly when you're so angry!

The message is "Don't mess with corporate money slave". The nodding dolts cheering 10 years as a fitting punishment are the most worrisome.
10 years in prison seems rather excessive an amount of gaol time.
Christ they hand out 4 year sentences to rapists and this guy is looking at a 10 years stretch for being disgruntled???
The mind boggles, no suggesting letting him off scot free but 10 years is just crazy.
I agree 10 years Is too much for this, maybe he should have torched the place and get the ten years for that.
He clearly seems to have a lot more I.T. knowledge than the average laminated script reading phone drone and not all are drones just many.
And as others have posted on this topic what about the C.E.O's and upper level management white collar criminals that destroy so many lives when there company goes pop. They don't seem to be punished and go to jail for 10 or more years. And you can bet your backdoor that they are not living on the streets.
I agree what this guy did was wrong but it has to be compared to the big shots that stay rich and have destroyed 10's of thousand of peoples lives in the way of supers and more.

Fair use is also to copy what you've purchase to a different media.

We don't really see much information on why this man was fired and what led up to it. The company wants to drag his name through the mud and make an example out of him, but quite likely there is a whole other side to this story.

In what parallel world is it ok to cripple a company because they fired you? It's like denting a car because it's poorly parked.

In the world where we don't know the full story. Either this guy was living the dream and had the most amazing job in the world (unlikely) and he flipped because of the loss, or his life was made a misery everyday till he got fired and retaliated. It's very easy to say you should never do a bad thing when it doesn't involve you and doesn't affect your life (jobs and careers are usually an important part). Don't poorly park, don't treat your employees like crap, don't fire them unfairly. Now sure it could be true that this guy was just nuts in which case then fair enough, but things are rarely this black and white. From a legal point of view there might not be many parallel worlds, from a moral point of view there are many.

In this world people go about vandalizing vehicles for no reason whatsoever. As to crippling company's, well what good for the goose and all that jazz. I dont agree with what he done nor however do I agree with 10 years in gaol for his crime. Im sure the company was insured.

Mindless destruction is of course abhorrible. But as for the denting car analogy, lets say for example you just lost you job and found out you could spend 10 years in prison, then came home and someone had parked over your drive way. There are at least ways to understand how these things reach the point of unfortunate conclusion.

Normal people, just so you know, because clearly you don't know what normal people are, live by social rules and law. When one or the other is not ok, there are channels to work it out. What this dude did, was kill someone because -according to some twisted logic behind, I'll go into it- that someone may or may not have stolen something from him.
Was that a valid reason to do so? No it was ducking not. It's dumb when people try to make something illogical logic by justifying said unjustified behaviour. The level of abstraction... oh my...

Normal people, where are they in this day of age?
Don't know whether or not you care to glace out a window but normality has somewhat diminished, the world is a crazy place these days hence the possibility of 10 year gaol sentences for what amounts to nothing more than digital vandalism.
Normal people LoL that will be the day, you would need a normal world first.

It doesn't. Strangely illogical to me, as well.
