Creating a user name that is not your real name.. landing you in hot water?

MySpace Suicide Case Could Make Us All Criminals.

"Think twice before you sign up for an online service using a fake name or e-mail address. You could be committing a federal crime."


For the record, I think what that woman/mother did to her daughter's former friend, is completely wrong. She purposely created a fake persona (that of a teenage boy) to lure Megan Meier into an online relationship.. to gain her trust, before emotionally and psychologically destroying her. As a direct result of what this adult did (to a child), this girl killed herself. I don't see how she could not be held accountable for her actions. What kind of sick and twisted person does this?

However, will there be a point where the "non sickos" find ourselves facing some sort of legal action as well? o.O
