Lori Drew Cyberbullying Case Dismissed
Trepidity writes "About seven weeks after the judge tentatively overturned Lori Drew's guilty verdict for 'cyberbullying' following her online harassment of a teenager that was linked to the teenager's suicide, the case was finally officially dismissed. In a 32-page opinion (PDF), the court avoided a minefield of possible follow-on effects that civil-liberties groups had warned of by holding that merely violating a website's Terms of Service cannot constitute 'unauthorized access' for the purposes of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. 1030)."
Anyways, Hognoxious, please listen to me. That it's really related to this thread.
I went to Myspace a while ago; you know, Myspace?
Well anyways there was an insane number of people there, and I couldn't get in.
Then, I looked at the banner hanging from the ceiling, and it had "PUNCH THE MONKEY" written on it.
Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.
You, don't come to Myspace just to punch the monkey, fool.
It's only an ad, an A-D for crying out loud.
There're even entire families here. Family of 4, all out for some online videos, huh? How fucking nice.
"Alright, Mommy's gonna look up Stephanie Meyer's page." God I can't bear to watch.
You people, I'll give you copies of Twightly if you get out of those seats.
Myspace should be a bloody place.
That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the Internet table can start a fight at any time, the stab-or-be-stabbed
mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Women and children should screw off and stay home.
Anyways, I was about to start browsing, and then the bastard beside me goes "pimp my layout, with extra bling."
Who in the world orders extra bling nowadays, you moron?
I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to decorate it with extra bling?"
I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.
Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "extra bling"?
Coming from a Myspace veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, hand-written CSS.
That's right, hand written. This is the vet's way of myspacing.
Hand-written CSS means more text than graphics. But on the other hand the price is a tad higher. This is the key.
And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable.
However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by Tom from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.
I can't recommend it to amateurs.
What this all really means, though, is that you, Hognoxious, should just stick with Facebook.
