CNET NEWS -- Dec 1 -- The
MySpace suicide case concluded last week, with the jury finding Lori
Drew guilty of three misdemeanor counts of gaining unauthorized access

end. This could mean serious trouble for people who lie about their
age, weight, or marital status in their online dating profiles. All those people who have lied about their age or weight in an
eHarmony profile would now appear to be computer hackers. And if
you gain 30 pounds after posting your profile and don't promptly update
your profile--yep, jail for you. FULL ARTICLE @ CNET NEWS
