Death Penalty for passing on email addresses?

A chinese internet user has been charged with subversion for providing a list of 30,000 Chinese e-mail addresses to a US-based pro-democracy magazine and Web site called Big Reference. The law specifies that this "crime"'s penalty ranges from 10 years to execution. The globalisation of the internet will have some it seems further consequences on the way people will use it.

I'm appalled by some of the comments I just deleted. Please THINK before you post. You are talking about someone's LIFE. If your life is not valuable to you then you have a problem. His life is valuable to him.
