Obama's Department of Justice Seeks to Criminalize Upload of  YouTube  Videos The Department of Justice is attempting to criminalize uploading videos that break YouTube’s terms of service, along with any other online action that is deemed to contravene a website’s usage policy, in a shocking expansion of cybernazism deemed draconian by critics. “In a statement obtained by CNET , the Justice Department argues that it must be able to prosecute violations of Web sites’ often-ignored, always-unintelligible “terms of service” policies,” Such violations would include creating a fake Facebook profile, lying about your weight on dating websites, or providing any other item of false information that violates a website’s TOS agreement. Under the DOJ’s new legal framework, an expansion of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), agreeing to a website’s terms of service would be identical to signing a contract with an employer, with similar punishments for breaking that contract.  Attorney Stewart Baker warns that under the newly amended law, users uploading a copyrighted You Tube video more than once would fit into “a pattern of racketeering,” with even harsher criminal penalties!
