Slashdot Mirror
Jail Time for Misleading Domain Names
Bootsy Collins writes "The Miami Herald is running a
story
on the first-ever prison sentencing (and, for that matter, prosecution and conviction) under the Federal Truth in Domain Names Act. This act, combined into the larger
Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today Act (PROTECT) of 2003, made it a violation of U.S. Federal law to use a misleading domain name with the intent to deceive someone into viewing obscene material -- larger penalties if attempting to so mislead minors, but up to two years even if adults are the object. In the case in question, a man was convicted for registering thousands of domain names which were close misspellings of popular web sites for kids. Attempting to surf to those sites would redirect to a site entitled 'Dorm Sex Party.' Before being arrested, the convicted typosquatter made about a million dollars for the referrals." He's been on Slashdot before.
Down with Slashdot group think!!
Ah, the soft thwack of someone dropping their parental responsibility and floating off to a cocktail party, as their babysitter is left necking her boyfriend on the couch, and the child is left surfing the web, unrestricted, in their darkened room...
Tubal-Cain smokes the white owl.
why don't you go back to india you fucking injun
Yeah, I'm sure when you have kids you'll be there with your eyes glued to them 24x7. dumbass.
god you are a fucking loser.
anyone that says "parents basement" is just a retarded loser, who sits in, guess what part of their parents basement.
pitiful attempt to supress their loserish existence in life.
You are obviously not a parent.
Save your post. When you do have kids, go back and read it. You'll be ashamed.
Or... you do have kids... and you're just a fucking idiot.
3cx.org - A truly bad website.
There's a HUGE difference in taking pictures of a child in explicit sexual activity, and showing them obscene sexually explicit material. Child pornography can damage a child psychologically. You can read this if you would like to know more.
Now exposing a child to pornography, I don't see how this can be "damaging" especially when it's a website that's mostly pictures (and nothing really bad, since you need to sign up on these pages to see that stuff.) The most these children could have seen are some sexual organs. I don't see what's wrong with that as we will all probably see stuff like that at a young age anyway (friends, father's porn collection, some delis that sell certain magazines to minors, TV.)
You must be American since you make such a big deal about pornography.
The problem is not that non-violent prisoners is sent to prison, but in my opinion, it's the opposite. Violent criminals should not be sent to prison. Rather, they should be killed or receive other capital punishment like get their hands and feet cut off. Prison should be reserved for non-violent offenders like John Zuccarini. This way, they won't influence non-violent offenders and make them violent so that they can harm other people when they get out.
Uh, they mean the same thing. Perhaps it's you who need to learn English?
You know, you sure talked a lot about ass pounding in that post...is this a big issue with you :)
Since you can't even spell a common four letter word correctly, I can only imagine how many typos your daughter makes. Maybe next time you should try getting a high school diploma before having children. Moron.
Attempting to surf to those sites would
Are we still using the term surf. I thought that was so last century.
