Honestly, Myspace does need to take more action. We are talking about children getting hurt.

You have to look at a website as a responsibility. A good example of this is if I own a ecommerce site and I allow my employees to take home customers personal information and credit card information I would have quite a mess and could get sued!

The same thing if I owned a building and rented space to sexual offenders and allowed families to live in the same building. I am sure in some places that would be illegal for me to do as a landlord.

Bottom line, myspace can expect to get themselves in more hot water over the years and needs to get some type of insurance. I can see where an attorney could easily convince a jury that a "business" did not do enough to protect children.

If your business caters to minors, expect to have issues like these. If you really think about the terms and condition of myspace, they really can not apply to minors. Minors are not legally allowed to enter in to contracts in most states. Terms of service is basically a contract.....
