Is this a good idea -- punishing muggers for incriminating themselves on YouTube? NY seeks Internet violence law Associated Press May 12, 2008 ALBANY, N.Y. — A proposal in New York would make a felony of committing violent acts for display on Internet video sites. The state Senate's Republican majority on Tuesday is expected to introduce a bill that would make a felony of violent acts like the brutal beating of a girl in Florida and subsequent attack of a 12-year-old in Indiana. The measure is also aimed at animal attacks and "bum hunts" in which homeless people are attacked or paid to fight each other on video. Florida authorities believe the March 30 attack on a girl by several other girls was done so a video could be made posted on YouTube.com. New York's measure would create crimes of violence intended for play on the Internet and make felony conspiracy apply to anyone who persuaded another to commit the violence. theglobeandmail.com
