COMMON SENSE

Why Judge Wu needed 8 months and a trial to throw this case out is the only question. While not a lawyer or judge I think it clear that if a legal action was appropriate for the violations of MySpace's TOS it would have been banning the party from the service or although a stretch sue someone in a civil action. There was no EULA in this case, no software being pirated, in short no criminal bahavior at all. Wu did what was right and it would have been my opinion that the appeals court would have tossed a felony conviction had the jury been misled badly enough by a far over reaching US ADA in Los Angeles. Whatever you want to think of Lori Drew is a different matter. And by the way why don't enough people take Megan's parents to task for allowing a 13 year old with admitted psychological problems to engage in an online relationship with a supposed 16 year old boy? Made me wonder, why not you?
