Congress will have to catch up with technology because of this one.

To list the names of the people involved and even show their pictures is completely unacceptable in my book. Different definition of public interest I guess ...

ditto....he was so mortified about the event that he ended his life. Perpetuating this story and making it more public than it already was is unconscionable....>> ^radx:

It is not illegal to release the name of anyone who committed a crime who is over the age of 18. Some people just don't understand the consequences and repercussions that can occur when laws are broken. This is a tough lesson on both students that they will never forget, and they could be made example of to deter others from attempting to do anything similar.

Asian chick was pretty cute, tho.

And where is this alleged piece of cinema varité?

Their actions caused his suicide, they'll most likely be charged with manslaughter.

That's not how the justice system works. They'll be charged with whatever is provable in court, which, in this case is invasion of privacy like they said in the video.

Their actions didn't cause his suicide, he did. What they did was a disgusting violation of privacy and completely immoral and irresponsible. They definitely deserve a punishment appropriate to the situation, but I don't think he would've killed himself if he felt as though he had the support of those who mattered to him.

There's something odd about our society when someone can be so distressed, when the truth of their sexuality becomes apparent, that their first reaction is to end their life. I can't imagine anyone would do this if they were straight and caught having sex... So yes, punish the voyeurs. But they're not the only problem here.

There's something strange when a society will destroy a person based on their sexuality. Loose women, libertine men, gay, and lesbians alike can all suffer from their private lives being broadcast on the internet without consent.

The only possible way for anyone to punish the defendants for the suicide would be Wrongful Death Claim. Which is a civil matter, and the preponderance of doubt is all that is needed. Could they prove that the persons who did the taping had a hand in the suicide, quiet possibly but that is up to the courts. Given this statement from Wikipedia, I think that it would be very possible to successfully sue for wrongful death.

Wrongful death is also the only recourse available when a company, not an individual, causes the death of a person; for example, historically, families have tried (both successfully and unsuccessfully) to sue tobacco companies for wrongful deaths of their customers.

I'd like to have a hidden sex tape tragedy with Anna.

Wrongful death suits can't be filed. It was a suicide. In the eyes of the law, a premeditated suicide, he left a note/notice, is an individual act. It's like someone killing themselves because McDonalds ran out of fries. No matter the distress it was an individual decision. I'm not saying the asshole was right to make the tape and is a douche bag for it, but all he will get is the privacy issues brought against him. Doesn't matter if it's the right thing to happen or not, it's just how the law works with cases of suicide.

If they weren't caught now they may have repeated this life wrecking form of bullying again and again. I wonder if his cell mate is going to have a hidden camera...?


By the way, what's with the 'blip' bit? Maybe he was just gay....
