    Jade Goody website 'troll' from Manchester jailed for offensive web posts

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ester-11650593

    "According to BBC Online, 'An "internet troll" who posted obscene messages on Facebook sites set up in memory of dead people has been jailed. Colm Coss, of Ardwick, Manchester, posted on a memorial page for Big Brother star Jade Goody and a tribute site to John Paul Massey, a Liverpool boy mauled to death by a dog. The 36-year-old "preyed on bereaved families" for his "own pleasure," Manchester Magistrates Court heard.'"

    "Unemployed Coss was only caught when he sent residents on his street photos of himself saying he was an internet 'troll.'"

            While I don't particularly agree with what he did a lot of sites set up in memory of dead people have fuck all to do with being in memory of the dead person and everything to do with the weird way a lot of people will jump on a RIP bandwagon like it's belonging to a special club.

            Start a thread in any forum saying someone has died and there will be a shit load of RIP posts from people who really don't actually give a shit but aren't brave enough to either say nothing or say 'actually the corpse was an obnoxious cunt and I won't miss them'.

              Serves her right. It just shows that the internet is not as lawless and anonymous as people would like it to be.

                      Anyway, like has been said in this thread already, i don't agree with what he did, although i don't see how you can charge someone for that.

                      People can't wait to make RIP pages on Facebook etc, yet probably don't give 2 fucks.

                      What does it mean anyway? Do people think they have Facebook and a decent internet connection in heaven? Pisses me off BIG time...

                        Because she had and then died of cancer didn't make her a better person...

                          Ok so he was charged under the Communications Act 2003, for sending malicious communications that were grossly offensive.

                            from what i gather its old uk laws that were set up for radio/tv/newspapers broadcast that they now have applied to the internet.

                            its like that chap who 'joked' that he was fed up with how long he was in a airport, and said he would plant a bomb.

                            for some reason the manager of the airport a few days later read his tweet and got him arrested.

                                Going to jail for posting something stupid is ridiculous. They could easily send half of GFY to jail if the wanted.

                                  Is causing distress a criminal charge? Just seems more like a civil case, if anything.

                                  Don't get me wrong, guy sounds like a total loser douchebag and his life is probably already punishment enough. But tying up the court/jail system over something like this... just seems pretty silly. Not to mention, "free speech" and all that.

                                      Because they are really fucking stupid and post their opinions about things without knowing anything about it.

                                      I imagine markham will be here soon saying how brilliant Jade Goody is at stopping piracy.

                                        I believe in free speech, but there is such a thing as harassment.

                                        Speaking one's mind and telling the truth is one thing, but if the sole purpose of
                                        the speech is just to harass then I don't agree with that.

                                          Well you don't agree with freedom of speech then.

                                          There is no grey area. You can't be in favour of freedom of speech as long as they say things you like.

                                          Yes, that means you have to allow racists and homophobes the right to speak about that as they wish.

                                          Otherwise, there is no freedom of speech, is there?

                                              That's really disturbing. Any blogger could be charged under that act for saying something that somebody finds offensive.

                                              At the risk of imprisonment, I'll say that Jade Goodey was a disgusting, racist, bullying, common as muck, ignorant whore who typified everything wrong about the UK today.

                                              Funny that when she first appeared on Big Brother she was almost lynched by the public (and she was only 19), then again after making those racist remarks on the celebrity one. But as soon as she developed cancer she became another holier than thou princess Diana.

                                                i think many of you are missing the point here, this bloke wasnt blogging or anything, he was electronically contacting relatives of the dead and gloating.

                                                  it's bloody retarded that now we have to stand up for trolls, much less put up with them.

                                                          Bullshit, since when is trolling a crime?

                                                          Next they'll be jailing people for cussing on forums.

                                                          If you don't wanna get trolled don't allow random people to post on your memorial pages, simple.

                                                                Statist propaganda. The right of freedom of speech is absolute. The whole "you can't hurt other people's feelings" idea is just an excuse to silence opposition. If you destroy someone's property, you can measure the damage and put a price tag on that. But how the hell do you measure "emotional damage"? You simply can't.

The whole "you can't hurt other people's feelings" idea is just an excuse to silence opposition. If you destroy someone's property, you can measure the damage and put a price tag on that. But how the hell do you measure "emotional damage"? You simply can't.

                                                                                        Human mind is also part of their body or property, probably the most important part. If you use extensive harassment to damage other person's mind then you're doing actual damage to them. I'm not saying that people should be punished from every bad word they say to each other, and these cases can be borderline, but there have to be limits somewhere, and in most sensible countries there are.

                                                                                        If people would not be such idiots to each other, we would not need such laws, but sadly that will probably never change. Personally I don't see much difference between harassment compared to physically slapping someone to face or etc.

Freedom of speech has limitations example, (and I know this is played out) you can't yell !!!FIRE!!! or !!!BOMB!!! in a crowded theater without consequences. There is always certain speech that is NOT protected in any given society. There is no freedom without license
