A headline from actual news:
"A Writer Linked To Underground Hackers Is Going To Prison For Threatening An FBI Agent"
He eventually pleaded guilty in April to three counts: obstructing the execution of a search warrant, making Internet threats and being an accessory to an unauthorized access of a protected computer. The reduced charges carried a maximum sentence of more than eight years in prison....
...According to plea agreement documents he signed, Brown admitted to sending online messages "threatening to shoot and injure" FBI agents.
...Brown also acknowledged helping someone access the stolen data and obstructing the execution of a search warrant at his home. His mother pleaded guilty to helping Brown hide laptops during a March 2012 raid, and was given six months' probation.
The fact is the BBC article and 95% others are completely wrong. His sentence has nothing at all to do with "linking to a website".
