Teen Hacker Sentenced To Jail For Stealing Lady Gaga Songs

By Larry Yepez Jr.

An 18 year-old German music hacker is going to jail for stealing from Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Ke$ha and Leona Lewis.

Dj. Stolen made honor to his artistic name by stealing music, demos and personal info from the musicians and selling them on the internet for over 13,000 sterling pounds. According to the BBC, the hacker used phishing emails and trojan horse software to steal unpublished songs and then offered them on the internet for sale.

The hacker's purpose, according to the courts, was to be recognized. Well, then his 15 minutes of recognition gave him 18 months of jail time in juvenile detention and court ordered internet addiction treatment.

In the German tabloid The Daily Bild, the hacker, who's name is not being released for legal reasons, issued an apology to his idol Gaga by saying:

"Dear Lady GaGa, I am ashamed of what I have done. I did not think about the consequences."

What do you think of the jail sentence for this music Juvi? Do you think Gaga and the other artists should forgive him?
