Since the internet limits one to uploading and downloading content, what criminal acts can be committed using only the 'net?
* Any crime of speech. E.g., offering a bribe or attempting to extort.
* Bullying. Chasing another person around a site or from site to site, flaming them, encouraging others to do so, etc. Bullying itself has not yet been criminalized. But underlying crimes can included stalking, harrassment, some forms of sexual predation, etc.
* Threats. Any threat specific to a member and specific as to harm, especially harm to be inflicted by illegal means. E.g., "get off this site or I will hack into your bank account".
Let the discussion begin, folks.
