It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity.

In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess.

Sounds like a reason to make more anonymous forums.

Weiser_Cain

Or porn forums, no one gives a shit there.

I wanna see them try and enforce this ...they can't enforce any other internet laws it would seem .

Spoon_of_death

woohooo.. that means I can flame the shit out of you because im not from the US, but you cant do anything back :P

Mark Dygert

YES! We can finally say good bye to Jack Thomspon!

Kevin Albers

Worst...President...Ever...
Pretty lame congress, as well. Oye.

Downsizer

well shit. that takes all the fun out of it.

seriously though. software piracy is a federal crime too, but millions of people get away with it. I doubt this will be enforced.

Reminds me of Hitchhikers Guide, when Zaphod signs that bill without reading it. Bush seriously need to be outed. I even work for DOD, 90% of the people I know feel the same way.

No, it only works if he's annoying you anonymously.

seems like it's more a case of an old law applying to telephones being updated to include the internet causing unintended panic, commence the unbinding of female undergarments

i don't see it as a big deal, as it's one of those laws that can't be enforced in the way you would fear. And just as some of the members of this forum overlook the specifics in that article, it's silly to expect the President to read every single word of the stacks of papers he's handed by all the old fashioned fat bastards in congress. I do love to criticize the current President, but things such as this can't be directed towards him. Look a congress. In today's world, I think it's important to direct the younger generations to contact their representatives. This is one thing they could teach in school. Remember, the guys speaking for us are still amazing by color TVs and microwaves. This may require the younger adults of today to hold some responsibility in a world that would rather blame someone else...and sue them!!! This action goes beyond stating the obvious, such as "this sucks...huhuh huhuhuh huhhuh".

Sitting behind anonymous nicknames has given us the ability to cowardly throw insults at those we've never met. There are few consequences.

Did you know that swearing on your cell phone could be illegal?

In most places it is illegal to curse over the radio waves. This also applies to CB, HAM, walketalkies and all public bands. Cell Phones are basically radios. I remember paying some FCC like fee when I first got my first cell ('suppose to be a one time fee, now the bastards add it in every year). Even though your not suppose to listen in, and the signal is encoded you are still broadcasting. So they fall under the same rules.
