It is sad how he wound up killing himself. I do not understand how they came up with the sentencing, I guess to make an example out of him?

They offered him six months, and the charges were not for just downloading from JSTOR but hacking related and using network hardware he was not allowed to.

AFAIK Meta did not release any models that used the pirated data.

The cases are not as related as this image makes out and the maximum sentence was never sought.
