I made that page so that it would seem that the defendant was guilty. I don't like the defendant as he owes me money / had sex with my wife / kicked my dog.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />See how easy it is to fake stuff like that???

MySpace, Yahoo, Facebook, and most of the other social networks, do log the IP addresses of when an account is accessed. The problem comes about with the ISP to which the IP address belongs. There is no consistency as to how long the records are retained as to which IP is assigned to which account. I would guess that the average retention time is 90 days or less, so if the MySpace log-in IP was requested more than 90 days after the page was published, it is unlikely it could be determined which ISP account was used.

That seems like a bit of a failure on Sgt Cook's part. Perhaps MySpace doesn't retain that data, although I find that hard to imagine.Hal Pomeranzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077688334830112926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21633793.post-48655923150716131112010-07-14T14:02:25.284-04:002010-07-14T14:02:25.284-04:00There was no discussion of that, at least not in t...There was no discussion of that, at least not in the opinion.Susan Brennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575138839291052258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21633793.post-77081049890277974012010-07-14T13:47:25.149-04:002010-07-14T13:47:25.149-04:00I find it interesting that there wasn't (or yo...I find it interesting that there wasn't (or you didn't include) any discussion of the alternative to the MySpace site as being genuine.
