You got to be kidding I wish somone in HP would go to jail when I lose my hardrive thats worse than someone killing off my character.

If someone from HP breaks into your house and sets your hard drive on fire, they probably would go to jail.


To me this is like giving someone a spare key to your car to use it if they need to.  Yes, you're giving them the ability to wreck it, but they should be obligated to compensate you if they do.

The fact that the woman did this deliberately would translate above to someone deliberately driving away with your car and pushing it off a cliff.  I doubt you were thinking they'd do that when you gave them the keys!

The woman has done something wrong here, it's just a matter of degree and how the law handles cyber offenses.
