WSJ: Use a False Name on FaceBook = Felony


This is a very good article at WSJ about the Government's very quiet move to criminalize the population.  It isn't just about using a psuedonym on your dating page and a picture of Beyonce as "your" picture to fetch a man.

No, the language that exists, RIGHT NOW in Federal Law, is that you may not do anything that exceeds authorized use from a particular computer.

And Federal Prosecutors are already taking advantage of the broad language.  So are silly Citizens to bring civil suits.

Consider: You are at work on Monday morning and your company has a "Work Only" policy regarding use of ANY company owned device online.  You check the NFL standings at lunch from your company desktop or Blackberry - Welcome to my world.  Federal Felon.

The article is very good, and should have all of us resolved to one simple reality:

We're screwed.  There's going to be a fight.  Let's win.

Here's the piece.
