It's now illegal to annoy someone over the Internet using a pseudonym.

 

"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Well, it's sure been fun here on TBD.  I guess it'll be shutting down now, since 98% of all the posts here annoy someone!

I did not fully understand this article. Does this only apply to blogs, or could hogboy for instance be arrested for trolling a particular poster on a message board? :):(
