It is interesting as he didn't actually carry out the attacks. He got 18 months for inciting/organising it.

Not sure if it has been made public yet but he was using trucrypt encryption on his computer there is some new law in relation to withholding encryption keys.
that is not that new a law. You break the law if requested to decrypt information on your or other devices if you refuse

Its the key disclosure law dated 2006 ( good old google lol)

due to the short sentence the very fact you mention he may get released with a tag in a very short period of time
