You quoted the least compelling part of the article. Literally who cares about Rockstar, Nvidia, and BT?

The only part that might require hospitalization/lockup IMO might be this:

During Thursday’s hearing, the court heard Kurtaj “had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage,” the BBC reports. A mental health assessment also found that Kurtaj “continued to express the intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible.” He’s required to stay in the hospital prison for life unless doctors determine that he’s no longer a danger.

But it's vague af so who knows.

So laws only apply if they affect people or companies you care about? Interesting.

Did you think this discussion was about the legality of the sentence?
