postheadericon When Does Speech Go From Legal To Lethal?

Recently, Judge Roger Titus of Maryland declared unconstitutional a federal law that makes it a crime to use the Internet "with the intent to harass [or] cause significant emotional distress to a person in another State" . Following this decision, legislatures and courts of the country will have to rethink the existing laws on cyberbullying.



In the case of Maryland, William Cassidy had been accused of cyberbullying Alyce Zeoli, a former colleague and a Buddhist religious leader, based on their tweets, such as: "the world a favor and go kill yourself PS. Have a nice day. "Zeoli said tweets have raised fears for their safety had not left his house for a year and a half, except to see his psychiatrist. But the judge dismissed the case. His reasoning are lively in legislative debates on changing state and federal laws.

Judge Titus said that "threats of harm" may be punished, but no communication "intended to" emotional distress. Also considered relevant to the support (a tweet ) was communicated to the general public and not just the victim. The purpose of harassment may choose not to follow the tweets. "This," said the judge, "is in stark contrast to a phone call, letter or e -mail specifically addressed to and directed toward another person, and the difference ... is fundamental to the analysis of the First Amendment in this case. "Tito The judge also seemed to think it was unreasonable to have a reaction spectacular Zeoli said Cassidy tweets were not a "real threat".



Words are powerful. You can move the listeners or readers to action, even hurt themselves or someone. But in general, our society does not punish those who speak or write. Think of Ozzy Osbourne. Thirty years ago, recorded the song
Suicide Solution


. The song says that "Suicide is the only way out" and contains the letters barely recognizable, sung at a faster pace, "take the gun and try that, shoot, shoot, shoot."



When shooting 19 years himself in the head with a handgun of .22 caliber, having spent five hours listening to the music of Ozzy His parents sued Ozzy grief and dealer registration. The California Court of Appeal rejected his claim (pdf), noting that the speech does not lose its First Amendment protection simply because it "can evoke a mood of depression." The court said that the letters do not "order or mandate specific action at some point."



But the courts have ruled differently if the speech is addressed directly to an individual. In a case currently under appeal in Minnesota, William Melchert-Dinkel was accused of pressuring two people on the Internet to commit suicide. He posed as a nurse young woman attempting to enter in a suicide pact with his victims. The judge in the case of Minnesota said that Melchert-Dinkel "encouragement and advice prompted the imminent suicide of Nadia Kajouji and may have this effect." The judge in the If the label instant messaging as "lethal defense" and said that Melchert-Dinkel's words is "analogous to the category of unprotected speech known as" the fight against the words "and" incitement to imminent violation of the law. "" The judge distinguished the messages sent to the general public, Melchert-Dinkel said he had the right to make their pro-suicide message to the public - through the Internet, television, and so on - but has the right to send this message to a person vulnerable. Melchert-Dinkel lawyer appealed the case on the basis of the First Amendment.

How to be a direct threat? What if Melchert-Dinkel Nadia had just sent an mp3 file with Suicide Solution Ozzy? The courts are already considering the possibility of people "as" a social network can be used as evidence against them. In Wisconsin, a judge admitted evidence of a party referred MySpace a story in which a judge was injured. However, a court of Mississippi refused to use MySpace after a father of Ronald McDonald was wounded in the face to show that the mother should have custody of children.

"intent" standard is also problematic. As Judge Titus suggested, the standard is very broad and includes speech that is constitutionally protected. But the "intent" standard is, in some cases too narrow. It could allow someone to circumvent the legitimate prosecution arguing he had no intention to hurt, just made to be fun.


This strategy has worked for 40 years Elizabeth Thrasher, of which the victim was the daughter of the new girlfriend of her ex-husband. Thrasher published photos, phone number and email address in the 17 years of age in the "free field" to Craigslist, where people express their interest in casual sex. Due to "vent" the publication, 17 years was inundated with phone calls sexually explicit e-mails and text messages containing nude photos and requests for sex. A man even came to the restaurant where she worked Sonic after failing to scope on his phone, which eventually led to leave work because of fear. He said that the publication of the information made her feel as if "was created to kill and rape someone." Thrasher lawyer argued that the photos of the girl and her place of work and were available on the MySpace profile of the girl. He said the messages were "tantamount to a hoax" - and Thrasher was acquitted.
The issue of targeting a victim to the general public is also an issue to consider. Tito The judge said that to be criminally actionable, tweets and messages should be sent directly to the victim. However, due to the nature of digital communications, the distinction between public tweets Tito judge and direct contact with the victim may take in future cases. Much of women cyberstalking does not involve a direct threat from one person to another. In a Connecticut case, a man released a rap video on YouTube of him brandishing a gun while threatening to shoot the mother of his baby and "put his face on the earth until you can not breathe no more. "Although the man was in North Carolina at the time and the woman lived in Connecticut, the court issued a restraining order against him.
under the standard Judge Titus, for example, a video was not a concern because the woman could have died. This problem of a contact person in front of the general population will be key in where the messages of personal information (such as a Google map to the house of a woman with a complaint, she wants men to act rape fantasy) and the sign itself does not intend to violence.

postheadericon Calls for tougher curbs on roaming charges

Europe

maximum price for the cost of mobile Internet access abroad too high, say MEPs

Internet access from mobile phones will continue to be hundreds of times more abroad than at home in the next 10 years according to the rules of the European Commission, politicians warned.

Parliament is to vote in the summer of new ceilings limit the amount mobile operators can charge passengers. The costs are still astronomical, with some networks in the UK charge "roaming" customers the equivalent of £ 3000 for a gigabyte of data - enough to download 200 songs or watch two hours of video. The proposed price caps, intended to operate until 2022, could be set at ? 500 (£ 420) 1 GB, but members have called for further reductions.

"We need better consumer value," said Irish MEP, Sean Kelly, which means that the cost of 1 GB falling to ? 90 for the year 2014. " The committee's proposals were a bit generous with the industry. Do not think the companies involved will go bankrupt, they can cry wolf, but they will not have the wolf at the door. The single market is free movement of goods, free movement of persons. We should try to charge any roaming around. "

Since the adoption of smart phones have been numerous reports of tourists come home to accounts run into thousands of pounds. Last year, Europe imposes ? 50 cap on expenditure data. Access to the Internet automatically drowned after the limit is reached, except by prior arrangement. However, tourists outside the euro area does not guarantee protection.

The average price of 1 GB in a European country was reduced by ? 7 for those who use their phones at home, according to research firm Berg Insight, despite three counts of £ 1 / GB least in the UK. However, the UK operators O2 and Orange customers a monthly fee £ 3/MB while on the continent, the equivalent of £ 3,000 / GB.

This fee applies even in countries where their own networks, Orange customers in the UK pay £ 3, when in France. Automatically bet Vodafone customers roaming in the discount rate, which cost £ 80/GB in Europe, but £ 200 in the world. These prices mean that customers tend to use the wifi instead of wireless connections to surf the Internet abroad.

"High prices are strangling the use of the Internet for travelers," said the United Kingdom, three of the director of corporate affairs. "European consumers must be able to access the Internet anywhere. It's like sitting with a friend, French or Spanish at your local bar and is paid 100 times higher than for the same drink. "

The Commission requested MEP Angelika Niebler to revise their proposals and this month published a report saying that consumers should pay more than ? 200/GB, a significant reduction in the initial proposal of the Commission . He also suggested that the marked reduction in the cost of calls and text messages from abroad.

"We must be very ambitious," said Niebler a debate on the report. "The goal is to ensure that the costs and domestic prices are similar to European rates so as not to have a separate tariff for roaming over -. This is the ultimate goal of consumer organizations will agree vendors have a different opinion. "
The commission first introduced the roaming price cap in 2007 and is preparing a new series of cuts that are due to be voted by Parliament in June The reductions will be spread over a period of three years in July 2012 and ends in July 2014 and will remain in place until 10 years.

postheadericon Senator Wyden Demands Answers About Feds' Seizure Of Dajaz1

thought they could exploit the Dajaz1.com blog, keep the secret for a year then come back and pretend that nothing really happened ... It may look like a bit of a surprise. Senator Ron Wyden began his investigation into the matter, sending requests for detailed information from the Attorney General, Eric Holder, ICE, John Morton, director of the White House IP czar Victoria Espinel. You can see the three letters included below. There are many questions for each of them with a big focus on what they were talking about crises (eg, the RIAA) and what they said. He also questioned the legal basis for seizures and even training and procedures. It will certainly be interesting to see the answers that are coming ..

postheadericon Do We Really Want To Hand Over Control Of The Internet To A Group That Sued A Dead Grandmother

Via Julian Sanchez, you get the best headline of the story-we have seen so far on the soup. Written by Kevin M. Fogarty at ITWorld, reads as follows:
better idea of ??2011: Giving control of Internet content for a group that has pursued a dead grandmother


is a must read, pointing out the folly of the soup - while being very funny:
supporters are not willing to talk about commitment, not requiring drastic measures in the speech and piracy "crush" the artists and other creators of content, and seem, with good evidence, to follow the will of the donor soup, which has no interest in the public and an endless source of shame for the interest they believe is more important than the freedoms protected by the First Amendment, fourth and fifth.

On the positive side, it is not even one third of the Bill of Rights, so that the claims of proponents of SOPA are ready to crush the Constitution to fill their own pockets are much exaggerated by at least seven of rights.

other hand, are described, quite accurately, which is the control and guilt out of place:


the RIAA and the intent of SOPA is derived from the irrational rage that the world has changed and unquestioned belief that change is the lack of industry clients, who should be payable by the self-inflicted woes of the music industry ....
So ... How do you give the same people the power to command the officers of federal agencies provide law enforcement to drug traffickers, kidnappers, terrorists and spies to shut down Web sites and to confiscate the fields simply because charged with have offended members of a group wishing to pursue a grandmother dead and grill for 10 years to discover that out of the house was the spoofing of address to download a song 10 year old girls do not listen, a time are not usually wake up?

postheadericon Law Firms Removing Their Name From SOPA Supporters' List; SOPA 'Support' Crumbling

As we talked about how a group of companies that were listed by the Chamber of Commerce of U. S. such as soup / PIPA supporters need to be removed from the list, noting that although they have accepted a generic query on the fight against the sale of counterfeit products that are not compatible with local legislation as large soup / PIPA. It seems that others appear as "support" SOPA struggling to get out of the list too. Official list of the Judiciary Committee has included a handful of large companies such as the name of the law in support of the law as well - it's a bit strange, since law firms are usually not the official views of such things. They can express their views on these issues on behalf of clients, but the legislation is a direct support completely different ball game.

A group of lawyers (most of which have a long history of collaboration with the entertainment industry) sent a letter to the Judiciary Committee say they were agree with the analysis Floyd Abrams SOUP. That's it. They said their companies supported soup - and, indeed, there is an asterisk at the company said that the names of their companies are only for identification purposes

. However, the Judicial Committee took the names anyway and put them in the list of followers. Express a legal opinion on a bill extraordinarily different

to support the project. However, this ignores the Judiciary Committee and listed as defenders anyway.



From what we heard, many law firms are
not happy , and demanded the withdrawal official list of the Judiciary Committee. Among those who have already complained / been removed from the official list of Morrison & Foerster, Davis Wright Tremaine, Ireli & Manella, Covington & Burling. I hope that the Judiciary Committee removed all names and subjects, not a public apology blatantly with the names of companies that made no clear statement in support of proposed legislation. This is a very serious by staff of the House Judiciary Committee. They are so concerned with the list of supporters who have been naming the companies that do not support the bills. Then they used these statements to argue that there is broad support ...
thus between the Chamber of Commerce of U. S. extends what most companies thought they were supporting and pretend to say support for soup / PIPA, and the desire by the Judiciary Committee to conduct a legal analysis of a portion of the bill by some lawyers say their large law firms supported the project ... is the appearance of the facade of a complete business support is crumbling fast ...

postheadericon Surprise: Heritage Foundation, Who Almost Always Supports MPAA, Comes Out Against SOPA

, it seems that the MPAA and the Chamber of Commerce of U. S. can expect even more of their "friends" to support the soup. The final surprise is that the Heritage Foundation argued against SOUP, warning that dangerous would probably have unintended consequences. It shows both security issues and concerns of the First Amendment:


The requirement that search engines ignore links to other sites dishonest undermining the role of search firms as trusted intermediaries in the transmission of information to users. There are, of course, other circumstances in which the search engines and to omit information and links, for example, Google automatically filter pornography from its search results. But it has never been a government mandate that information is retained from the search results. The imposition of a mandate to represent the first step in a classic slippery slope of government interference that has no clear stopping point.
No doubt, the limitations of search engines and other third parties under SOPA also violate constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression. But even if it is not prohibited by law, such restrictions should be imposed only after the most careful consideration, only when absolutely necessary, and even then for the smallest possible.



What is really surprising is that the Heritage Foundation has a long history, far from being strongly in favor of more stringent copyright, and champion the efforts of the RIAA and MPAA legal to go to the drop of a hat on copyright:


Unlike some groups in Washington that are predictable anti-copyright, Heritage has historically taken the opposite position. It is called the Motion Picture Association of America decision to prosecute peer-to-peer pirates a "good choice" and suggested that the disruption of P2P networks to curb piracy, an idea that some politicians actually proposed is "a step in the right direction. "


[....]
Ed Meese, Reagan's Attorney General is now a Heritage fellow, seemed to be channel MPAA lobbyist wrote in 2005 that "there is no difference between stealing a DVD from a store and illegally download a movie from Kazaa copyright." Assets of international warnings of "threats to human intellectual property "back to at least 1987. And the scores of the protection of intellectual property rights in its annual index of economic freedom.
For now the group go the other is a surprise - and promotes rapid growth momentum against the SOPA. It became a lot (but certainly not all) of the force had been "left." However, recent concerns groups DC as the "right" tends to follow and respect (including CATO, CEI and now the site), it seems that many politicians on both sides of the aisle can be any more skeptical about the soup. You can have the voice to leave the House Judiciary Committee, but it can be difficult for him to survive a floor vote
