I think the problem here is that no fraud or theft has been committed
(note IANAL!). The other regs you quoted implied a similar requirement.
*However*, if paid membership were a requirement for posting,
and the identity theft was used to circumvent that requirement, then
it would be fraud. But good luck pursuing anything in that regard
when the measurable damages would be about 10 bucks.
We'll have to figure out our own way to deal with this stuff..., I
doubt the law will help us.
