What's the old record?
Personally 2.5 years for sabotage, sounds about right. Remember with parole, he'll probably be out in 6 months.

I remember a story from Detroit a long ways back, however the man successfully blackmailed the company, with the courts blessing.
The difference is that he password protected upcoming bus schedule changes, and was fired right after the project was completed, but not before it was published. He told them it would cost them for the password; I think it was about a years worth of salary. The court ruled in favor of the programmer, because the company did not ask him for the password while he was still employed.

Actually, I don't recall if they paid him, or delayed the schedule release and recreated the work.
