FOXNews.com - MySpace Suicide Case Could Make Us All Criminals - Science News Science & Technology Technology News:

"Federal prosecutors turned to a novel interpretation of computer hacking
law to indict a Missouri mother on charges connected to the suicide of a
13-year-old MySpace user.
Prosecutors alleged that by helping create a
MySpace account in the name of someone who didn't exist, Lori Drew, 49, violated
the News Corp.-owned site's terms of service and thus illegally accessed
protected computers."


While I agree that the actions this womyn took, and have been discussed on this site in the past, were wrong. I don't agree that this is the right method to punish her. It has the potential to set a standard that many people on the internet violate.
