Perspective: Create an e-annoyance, go to jail
By Declan McCullagh
Published: January 9, 2006, 4:00 AM PST
Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.
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.
This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet,
is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of
Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and
two years in prison.

So Hoof, you can now sue the pants off *Liceman* and don't forget a barrister is
probably less expensive than a lawyer. And really you ought to thank me for
supporting 700women.org in getting this law passed.
The 700 women sent me such a nice email:
We are delighted to announce that President Bush signed the Violence Against
Women Act yesterday afternoon. This law will provide approximately $3.9 billion
over the next five years to help combat domestic violence in this country. A
special thanks goes out to all of you. You helped to make this happen.
While the United States has made considerable strides toward combating abuse in
the last decade, four women still die at the hands of their partners and 700 are
raped or sexually assaulted each day. This renewed legislation now emphasizes
early intervention, a critical component of saving lives.
Amnesty International recently joined with the National Organization for Women
and Break the Cycle to deliver a petition with 100,000 signatures to key
lawmakers in December as they negotiated the final version of the bill. More
than 90,000 of these signatures came from all of you.
We encourage you to get more involved with Amnesty International's life-saving
work. Visit our Web site today to find out how you can help free prisoners of
conscience, abolish the death penalty, stop torture, and ensure that every
person enjoys full human rights.
Together we can make a difference.
Sincerely,
The AIUSA Web Team
Amnesty International USA
700 women are assaulted or raped by their partners every day. You can help stop
it.
