That all depends on the charge. If you hack into the WiFi of your local Subway that requires you pay for it first, then you might be facing petty theft, a misdemeanor. Although, if you (somehow) hack into the files of the pentagon and edit everything you can get your cursor on to pictures of Nyan Cat, then your looking at...well, a lot more time in prison than you have for living.

All players, except the penalty taker must be at least 10 yards away from the penalty spot when the penalty is taken. As the Penalty Area extends 18 yards from the goal line, and the Penalty Spot is 12 yards from the goal line, the distance from the Penalty Spot to the edge of the Penalty Area can be as little as 6 Yards. The Arc - not half circle - marks the area outside the Penalty Area, that is within 10 yards of the Penalty Spot, and therefore outside which players must be when the penalty is taken
