It's illegal to annoy

A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here's the relevant language.

"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."
isnt this grand..

I actually got a kick outta that joke :P

I believe that this will not be strongly enforced, I mean, look at WarCraft3 and the such, where minors curse and such at older people, not like they actually WILL be sent to juvenile hall or anything

Bigger question is who will be willing to hire a lawyer on "Internet harassment"... guess the person who hacked into my x-drive account, downloaded my phone book, and started calling and annoying me could have been in big trouble... blah

Mattmeck I have a PM from you from way back when you were doing RA with Mortenson. Back when I vanished. It's hella funny to read now.
