It's the law; go look it up. Anyone who has majored in business has taken at least two law classes and would know this.

Fuck that. That's like saying that GoDaddy needs reasonable intent to then ask ICANN if it's okay to kick them offline.
If you're an asshole enough to post something like that, you should be fine with getting the rug pulled from under your feet. |

Anyone?

Myspace is not a banking system, it has no direct tie to anything financial or personal. I can not get your social security number from it. Stealing a myspace password is not identity theft. |

First off anyone who uses the same passwords on different sites, or even worst yet post their personal info on unsecured myspace, or any profiles for that matter, are fools.
There is no excuse whatsoever, other than the poor excuse of ignorance and denial, to use random password generator programs such as RoboForm (The one I use) to generate random passwords on different websites that have ANY of your personal information.
You can not be too careful when securing private information on the internet. Ignorance and denial will make you a target.

That's silly - Myspace could have just locked all of the accounts down and required users to select new passwords via an email process. Or, just deleted all the accounts of the people who were silly enough to have their password captured.

So you wouldn't have a problem with giving me your bank account username and password? Or how about a username and password to a shopping site that stores your credit card info? Some users on myspace do use the same passwords and user names on other sites or even have personal info in their profiles. Using that info is most certainly identity theft. No matter how you try and spin that it's not.

arbitrary yanking with no due process or common sense is tantamount to having the fire department called when a person plugs in a space heater unsafely. It is an inappropriate response by an organization that should know better. There are many cases of such a reaction by godaddy and they should not be trusted with the power to do so at will. |

If you're using your bank password as your myspace account password then you probably deserve to get your funds stolen. It's the only way some people will learn.

Perhaps many of the commenters here should read the linked articles. The site that was taken down was a mailing list archive.
The owner of the site would have removed the information, but was not really given any notice before the take down.
Worse is that the list had been available on the web for over nine days before MySpace went after this one archive of the list. The list can still be found with Google.
Taking down this one copy of the list did nothing to help security for MySpace users or even make a dent in availability of the information. |

Re: Question of Authority..
said by elios :some myspace logons and passes got out on 4chans /b/(random) board a bit back and some people on there did some realy not nice stuff like getting in to these peoples e-mail accounts then sending out suicide notes to every one in there address books That's so mean. Imagine the disappointment felt by the rest of the world when they discovered that MySpace users were not committing mass suicide. |

The current system of yanking is obviously ineffective as there is no drop in spammers or scammers. Before you praise it, consider how successful it really is. That's like saying that having a fire department is ineffective, since there is no drop in fires.
The proper question is whether the number of victims is reduced. |

Godaddy has pulled similar schenanigans in the past, by killing the domain hosting the NAMESERVER a spammers domain was pointed at. Godaddy have serious ethical issues to address here, and should not be meddling in the domain name system if they are unwilling to do so in a fair and proper manner. Their current MO is simply yanking whatever they dont like for whatever reason and sending a groundless bill to the owners holding their domains hostage until they pay up so they will be permitted to transfer their domains elsewhere. This is not behavior i tolerate from a registrar, and suggest any godaddy customers to research what the company has been up to. They may be cheap, but they certainly arent to be trusted. |
