To be clear, I didn’t say they should go to prison. But I do think they are unsympathetic individuals to people outside of this niche space. If you make money off software you encouraged people to use for crimes, which would also generate revenue for you—whether charged with that crime or not—it’ll be hard for normie folk to give a shit about what the software did or whether the software was good. Politics is about maximizing the use of political capital and I just question where those resources are allocated. It really has nothing to do with the justice or injustice of these two individuals’ situation. If you want to campaign for their freedom I dont begrudge you but Im not convinced it will be a net benefit to the larger goal.

Does the rap music industry encourage crime? Should Sony, Mercedes or Nike CEO's be jailed for promoting crime? Are they not aware of the crimes committed by rappers with their products?
If the CEO of a music company encouraged, it’s gangster, rap, musicians, to commit crimes, and then plead guilty . I also would not support allocating resources to their pardon.
What evidence do you have that Samourai "encouraged" a specific crime to be committed and what evidence is there that the crime was committed as a result of that encouragement?
You’re missing my point and I’m walking and typing so I’ll tap out here. You’re all right: government bad. Free all unjustly imprisoned person s.
