I hope so. For years the attitude of internet justice has been anywhere from "It's hilarious when people's lives are ruined by the internet, they shouldn't have been doing anything wrong if they didn't want this, hahahahaha!!!!!" (hell you can even see reactions like that in this thread) to "Yeah, it's bad, but you can't really do anything about it".
I can't wait until laws/law enforcement catches up with online criminals to the point where you read about them just like any real life crime committed.
"Last week a man was gunned down in the NE, and today police laid a 2nd degree murder charge against so and so"
"Last week online hackers committed a huge crime resulting in 4 deaths, and the release of personal information, today 5 men were charged with X, and will likely spend decades in prison".
