True, but also what has to be remembered is that this is without precedent AFAIK and there are no laws to govern it so they went to the only one that could in some way cover the offence and that was misusing the terms and condition. The law just hasn't evolved fast enough.
Now I don't know what the equivalent would be if she had done all this in the old fashioned pen pal way.
What she did in my eyes is punishable either a short jail sentence or community service. I do agree it was handled in a dumbass manner and yes, the internet is going to change. I think it has to. It was great while it lasted, and call me a snob here, great while it was still the domain of geeks, enthusiasts and students and before the great unwashed got access but since then the plebs have brought it down hill.
