Lori Drew MySpace Suicide Conviction Thrown Out

On August 28, Judge George Wu of the United States District Court for the Central District of California overturned the conviction of Lori Drew and dismissed the case against Lori Drew relating to the suicide of Megan Meier. The Judge found that for purposes of this criminal prosecution the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the federal law upon which the Jury returned a guilty verdict, was unconstitutionally void for vagueness. You’d have to be a master marksman to draft a User Agreement that would meet constitutional muster in the face of criminal indictment.

The Judge found that Congress had not established adequately and clearly the minimal guidelines to govern law enforcement, but the decision did not affect civil causes of action and the ability of websites to protect their properties using this law. Dozier Internet Law has been following this case from its inception with commentary. 

Defamation Lawyer: Rosemary Port v. Google

Here is my post on the Google Bomb community site about the legal claim being asserted by Rosemary Port against Google for unmasking her identity in the Liskula Cohen case. As a defamation lawyer I addressed the very issue of anonymity and the movement of the free speech expansionists in my new book hitting the bookstores September 1. In the meantime, if you want an up close and personal view of the complicated issues involved, and a broader view from an Internet defamation lawyer of where this volley fits in with the war for control of the web, Google Bomb is available on Amazon: Google Bomb Book.   

Dozier Internet Law: Google Bombs Away

My Google Bomb book on online defamation has taken off on Amazon and moved into the top 400 of all books sold, number one in three Internet categories (privacy, culture, security). Google Bomb Blog and Forum has been launched by Dozier Internet Law Internet lawyers. And on the legal front, it has been an interesting week. Four major events have added some spice in the middle of our slow season as litigation lawyers: 

1) Facebook is sued for alleged data privacy violations by a big time, big dollar Texas plaintiff trial lawyer.

2) Jon Praed, a friend of mine and fellow Internet lawyer, sues banks to get information to better combat spammers. He's been the spam attorney for AOL for years.

3) Google loses in New York City and has to identify an anonymous blogger. Expect an appeal.

4) Oprah files suit in federal court in New York against a laundry list of defendants allegedly using her name and/or likeness to sell products online.

Internet Lawyer: $675,000 Copyright Infringement Judgment

A jury in Boston awarded $675,000 to the Recording Industry Association of America for copyright infringement after a Harvard Law School professor representing the defendant, a Boston University graduate student (Joel Tenenbaum), called upon the jury to "send a message" to the music industry by awarding minimal damages. As an Internet lawyer, I wasn't suprised by the jury's response to this request...they actually sent 675,000 messages out! It can be tough coming down from the Ivory Towers of an out of touch liberal institution intent upon defending the scofflaws of the web. So, to the professor turned Internet lawyer for the day, and co-founder of the Berkman Center, a far left wing, liberal, free speech expansionist Harvard institution, welcome to the real world, Charles Neeson. Thank goodness for a jury of our peers. And Mr. Neeson, there is a big difference between teaching law at Harvard and actually trying cases to a jury of everyday people. I suspect you will return to Harvard, be patted on your back, be told how unfair the judge and jury were, and refer your client to a bankruptcy lawyer. Jurors, unlike students, bite back. In this case, 675,000 times.
