I think everyone on this thread has no clue what Nosal really did and how serious it is. It is not only about password sharing, it is moreso about what he took from his employer. 2400 resumes with contact information. Imagine you give a recruitment firm your resume in pure confidentiality to the #1 Executive Searh firm in the world and it is hijacked. Also, what was Nosal going to do with that proprietary list? Make money from it that was not his. He took something of value that did not belong him. There are comments about sharing Netflix Passwords. Can you take something from Netflix and turn it around into a million dollars like Nosal did from his theft? He should be in jail for the full 5 years. No one gets it. He is a thief and he is shady and belongs where he is right this very moment. In the hooskow.
