A new Federal Statute enacted in 2006 possibly makes the content of RipOff Report and its transmissions criminal, and have apparently never been brought as charges to date. Section 113 was signed into law by President George W. Bush on January 5, 2006. It amends 47 U.S.C. 223, the telecommunications harassment statute that is rooted in the Communications Act of 1934. The telecommunications statute prohibits anyone from using a telephone or a telecommunications device “without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person.” Ed Magedson is very proud of talking about how most of the annoying, abusive, defamatory, threatening, or harassing postings on his site are anonymous. In application this has meant that you cannot anonymously annoy another person through the phone lines. Penalties include two years in prison and onerous fines. Section 113 amends the statute to include “any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet.” Section 113, entitled, “PREVENTING CYBERSTALKING,” states that the prohibited criminal acts apply to whoever (1) in interstate or foreign communications (A) by means of a telecommunications device knowingly (i) makes, creates, or solicits, and (ii) initiates the transmission of, any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene or child pornography, with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person.
