Every convicted virus writer should be in prison for 25-to-life and banned from ever touching a computer again.

The cumulative economic harm done by malware is a staggering sum. Malware writers are no less harmful to the economy than organized crime, so put them in prison.

I remember once hearing of a kid, 18 who wrote viruses and hacked into a governemnet system. They found him and gave hi a choice, 15 to 25 years in prison or $80K a year with the NSA.
