Re: Accused teen music hacker issues apology

A German teen under investigation for hacking into the computers of Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson and other top recording artists for their music, has apologized. "I'm sorry for everything I've done - I never thought it would go so far. We were only interested in the music," Deniz A., told Germany's Bild newspaper in an interview that was published on wednesday. In a letter that was published in Bild, the 18-year-old says he is ashamed and "did not thing about the consequences." Him and his 23-year-old accomplice apparently earned more than $13, 000 from selling the rare tracks online. This raised the suspicion of a Kelly Clarkson fan, who informed the singer's management. They then reported the illegal sales to the authority. They young man are also accused of blackmailing Kesha with an explicit photo. Formal charges have yet to be filed but Duisberg state prosecuter Rolf Haferkamp said he expects the probe to be completed soon.

To be honest, I don't really think he's that sorry. He's probably sorry he got caught. However, I don't think they deserve to rot away in jail, because no one got hurt, they didn't discriminate against a race, and they didn't make anyone lose their livelihood. Their only intention was to make some money.
