"Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.
It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity. "
What this really means, that if you leave a comment on my blog anonymously and I find it annoying, you could goto jail for up to 2 years. This is ABSOLUTE B.S.
Please, comment on my blog anonymously. I don't care. The Gov't is FAR over-reaching on this one.
Actual law:... any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent, with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person;
abuse, threaten, or harass another person;
Those are pretty key, and you wouldn't find it that absurd if you had a young child recieving abusive, threatening, or harrassing messages on myspace.
