Know any good movie director friends? Perhaps you can persuade him to do a movie portraying longhairs in good light -- computer whizzes, fighting hackers (thet Japanese guy who caught Kevin Mitnick is a longhair), artists, graphics animators, musicians, singers, scientists and so on.
On the other hand, there are probably some Kevin Mitnick fans who think that Tsutomu ("long-hair-behind-the-ears") Shimomura is a bad guy for taking down Kevin Mitnick. The opposing views are very subjective.
The point is not about how heavily the court sentenced Mitnick and how just or unjust was his sentence.
Tsutomu (the longhair) was smart enough to trace Mitnick, even if Mitnick just got a slap on the wrist. Tsutomu was not responsible for sentencing Mitnick.

No, it was actually TWO long-hairs who helped put Kevin Mitnick in prison. Justin Petersen was the other long-hair who informed the FBI on Kevin Mitnick. It is interesting to know that Justin Petersen only got probation for computer crime, while Kevin Mitnick was in prison awaiting trial!
