That doesn't strike me as the attitude of a "rock star"; more the attitude of a spoiled kid (and three of them are just kids) who has never had to learn the realities of life: that you can't have everything that you want, instantly. That you have to work and save up your money and BUY stuff that you want.
Sorry, but the whole point that comes out of this is that they could, for at least the past 5 years. Don't blame them for the lack of adequate legislation.

These are not "heroes". They're a group of kids who want "to get free stuff". And now they've learned that there are consequences to their actions, and that they are not "above the law", as they so obviously consider themselves to be. Perhaps, after their prison sentences, they'll grow up a bit and learn that you can't take whatever you want, just because you "can".
Let's see what happens in the appeals process first, shall we? Although I find your statement that kids should learn how to behave/grow up in prison odd, to say the least.
