Buy generic cialis, Lori Drew is the Missouri woman implicated in the death of Megan Meier, who committed suicide after being jilted on MySpace by the fictitious boy allegedly created by Drew and a teenage accomplice. When we finished Blown to Bits, Drew had not been charged with any crime, because no statute seemed to cover what she had done, Colorado CO Colo., horrible though it was. We wondered in the book if she might simply have done something evil but lawful. Louisiana LA, Drew is now being tried in California, not Missouri, on federal charges, of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Minnesota MN Minn.. Interpreting this law to cover what Drew did is an overreach with scary implications. Let's look at the language under which she is being charged, section a(2)(c):

whoever … intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access, and thereby obtains …  information from any protected computer if the conduct involved an interstate or foreign communication …

The government's position is that by creating a hoax MySpace account, Drew violated this section because MySpace's computers were in California, across state lines, and she obtained from that computer information about Megan Meier, buy generic cialis.

Now this is not what Congress had in mind when it wrote this language, New York NY N.Y., and it is not the way it has ever been applied. This is a clause about computer break-ins ("hacking"). The "information" the law is talking about is information stored in the computer. It's not a law about getting someone to tell you something using email or instant messaging, kjøpe cialis. Buy generic cialis, And the "unauthorized access" is also about breaking in to systems that are protected by passwords, for example, not about violating the terms of service of a service provider such as MySpace by misrepresenting who you are.

I understand the temptation to stretch to find a tool to throw at Lori Drew, but think of how many other situations would be covered if this clause were read that broadly. Cialis thorold, Fib about your age on a dating site. Jail time. Use Google or set up a Gmail account when you are only 17 years old. Jail time (2.3 of the TOS reads, "You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Google.") Use different middle initials on different accounts so you can see who's leaking your name to direct mailers, buy generic cialis. Jail time, köpa rabatterade cialis.

Would the Feds go after anyone for such minor offenses. If Lori Drew is convicted under this law, Acheter en ligne cialis, they will have carte blanche to do exactly that. That is precisely the point -- they don't really care if Lori Drew created a hoax MySpace account, they want to get her for causing Megan Meier's death. Buy generic cialis, But they can't think of a way to do that, so they are turning MySpace hoaxing into a federal crime.

By that standard, Washington WA Wash., if they can't get you for what you've really done, they may settle for jailing you for failing to update your Facebook profile when you change jobs. Koop korting cialis, After all, you agreed to do that when you signed up:

[Y]ou agree to … provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms on the Site ("Registration Data") … [and] maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to Company, to keep it accurate, current and complete.

(Thanks to the amicus brief by Phil Malone of the Berkman Center, among others, for these hair-raising examples.)

I hope Lori Drew burns in hell, if there is one. But the federal government should not take us all down with her in its zeal to get her punished on earth as well.

Cheap generic tramadol, For years, people have been observing that the wonderful surfeit of information sources available through the Web can result, paradoxically, in a narrowing of our perspectives. In the political realm, Montana MT Mont., Is tramadol legal in thailand, for example, liberals can now get all their news from liberal sites, cheap tramadol for sale, Order tramadol without prescription, and conservatives from conservative sites. As Cass Sunstein observes in Infotopia, purchase tramadol online, Tramadol china, speaking and listening only to people who think like us has a polarizing force -- everyone just gets more extreme.

The Boston Globe has a good review today of a paper published in Science some months ago reporting that groupthink is affecting even scientific research publications -- the lists of cited papers are becoming more homogeneous, Maryland MD Md., Ordering tramadol from canada, not more varied, as the information sources diversify, billige tramadol apotek. Idaho ID, There is even an analogy with popular music -- yes, there is a "long tail" of music now available for special tastes, but the small number of big winners dominate music sales now more than ever. And so it is with scientific papers -- with most available online, a smaller number are cited more often than in the past.

The paper suggests that Web search is fundamentally different from search through paper records, which puts more context around sources and causes us to be more critical before pursuing a reference. Clicking on links thoughtlessly is just too easy, and we are losing something in the process.

Hardly an open-and-shut case -- the article mentions several dissents -- but it makes sense to me.

Of course, a blog is not exactly a book and not exactly an email, but can we define the ways in which it's different that would justify a different standard.

Cheap soma tablets, We keep saying that the digital explosion has good and bad sides. For every meatspace tradition that dies because physicality isn't what it used to be, a dozen digital innovations are born, billiga soma apotek. But this morning, Alabama AL Ala., I'm going to grieve an irreplaceable loss.

The Out-Of-Town News Stand in Harvard Square is closing.

I remember how astonishing it was in 1964 when I arrived at Harvard from Wellesley, California CA Calif., Massachusetts -- hardly the ends of the earth -- and found I could buy French newspapers and magazines (it was the only modern language I could read) and newspapers from a hundred cities across the U.S. It was like Widener Library except that when you came back a few days later, it was all different, cheap soma tablets.

But the market for foreign newspapers -- days or weeks old by the time they have arrive -- has all but disappeared, New Jersey NJ N.J.. Cheap soma tablets, I might have hoped the place could stay open selling mostly pornography, but that's moved online too.

I should have seen it coming a few weeks ago when I bought a Christian Science Monitor there.

No Out Of Town News. I should be happy for all the opportunities there will be in its place, but this one is hard to take.

Cheapest propecia prices, Last night a team consisting of myself, Siva Vaidhyanathan (of UVa, author of Copyrights and Copyrwrongs and The Anarchist in the Library), and Randy Picker (of Chicago Law School) debated a team of Esther Dyson (author of Release 2.0), Jeff Jarvis (author of the forthcoming What Would Google Do?), and Jim Harper¬†(director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute).

Kjøpe propecia online, It was an Oxford-style debate; I took it as my job to sway the crowd and win the argument, without lying but perhaps by exaggerating if the other side would let me get away with it, Virginia VA Va.. I think several of the other participants took it rather more as an actual religious war, cheapest propecia prices. Comprare propecia sconto, In the pre-debate poll, the voting was very much against the motion; when the poll was repeated, propecia uk, it was a dead tie, 47%-47%, with 6% undecided.

The debate is in the Intelligence Squared series. A bouquet to the sponsors and staff of the series; it's a great thing to do. Last night's will be up on Youtube by the end of the week and in an NPR one-hour edited version shortly thereafter.

Online meridia, In a new low for abuse of copyright, Toyota has demanded that a site providing desktop backgrounds remove all images that contain a Toyota, Scion, or Lexus, even in a photography whose copyright is properly held by a third party.

Meridia, Also, Professor Charles Nesson has been getting great publicity for his attempt to have the DMCA ruled unconstitutional, essentially because it is a criminal statute dressed up in civil garb. The penalties are extraordinarily high, and none of the protections available to criminal defendants are accorded to those the recording industry comes after. That is why so few cases make it to trial, and the industry can continue its attacks unabated by any risk of losing a case.

Anyone who wants to work in the new administration has to fill out a questionnaire Order prozac online, with 63 extremely intrusive questions. Obama is doing everything he can to avoid surprises, What does prozac look like, like the Clinton nominees with their under-the-counter nanny payments. But many of the questions are questions only being asked because of the digital explosion and the resulting permanence of detailed information. Here are a couple of my favorite queries (emphasis mine):

Writings: Please list and, Vermont VT Vt., if readily available, Massachusetts MA Mass., provide a copy of each book, article, column or publication (including but not limited to any posts or comments on blogs or other websites) you have authored, buy prozac delivery, individually or with others.

And thank you for these details, Kentucky KY Ky.. We always wondered who 'hilarysux2008' was, glad to know."

NYT story here.

Seems to me there are three possibilities here. Either people are not going to work in the administration because of these disclosure requirements. Or the ones who do will be adventureless people who have never taken a risk or had much fun.

Or they will be liars.

Whatever it is, in 10 years, I'm betting, the balance will be struck in a different place.
