Whilst Valve is assessing where to go from here I have a suggestion for the HL community to contritute positively.
When the hacker comes to trial if the Judge is presented with a petition by ,well us, urging the judge to be very severe in sentencing perhaps he'll give the asswipes responsible a longer sentence and/or bigger fine.
It might also act as a deterrent to other hackers thinking of committing similiar crimes.
I have no idea how to start off such a petition so perhaps Valve itself should look into kicking this off.
I'm sure you could get easily 1 million names worldwide on such a petition (more than what was needed to oust Davis hehe) .
Perhaps a special website with legal clauses such as the licencing stuff MS makes you sign would make such a petition legally presentable as part of a Victim Impact Statement so the Judge can assess the destrucyion caused not just from Valve's perspective.
AND SCREW THE HACKER BADDDD
