In the same vein, I remember a controversy in MA a couple of years ago around the fact that if a man tricks a woman into going to bed with him by claiming to be someone he isn’t, it isn’t rape, There were calls to change the law at the time, but I don’t think it happened.
What a mess this case is.

Her lawyers are filing for a dismissal. Their argument is that the use of Myspace.com was authorized. Their argument is, “if someone gains permission or access to something through trickery or misrepresentation, it is still considered [not criminal] authorization and does not constitute nonconsent.”

They translate it to this case by saying, “may have provided false information to open the “Josh Evans” account, MySpace did give her authorization to open the account and allowed her to use it. ” I hear the, “is myspace supposed to check everyones account” argument coming.
