I understand everyone is poking fun at this web sites concern but
what I find most disturbing is that everyone forgets what this was all about.
A woman, adult, used myspace to manipulate and persecute a young girl
to the point where she committed suicide.
This woman's intent was the deepest and worst I have ever seen. Not
only that she refused to fess up to it when questioned.
That is what this whole trial was about. I think they could care
less if someone wanted to make themselves look better to someone
else. But if someone wanted to use Myspace to harass and injure
someone else, it should be a crime.

True, lying, in and of itself, is not generally considered to be a crime.
However, if the EULA for the site prohibits lying and you do lie you have
broken the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. You are "hacking" the site by
entering with false information. Lucky for you it is just a misdemeanor,
punishable by only one year in a federal prison and a $100,000 fine for
each count.
So lying about your height, weight, and hair is three counts: 3 years and
$300,000.
However, if you lie "*with malicious intent to inflict harm via
fraudulent
means*" that lie then becomes a felony.
So telling us that Vista is great will get you 10 years.
