"The only thing you accomplish by making things fool proof, is the breeding of better fools"
Don't know where I heard that, could even have been someone here's sig, but I think it applies.
My opinion... MySpace.com is NOT at fault. Parenting, some teaching of that common sense (ever wonder why its not common anymore? Maybe because we aren't teaching it?), and some supervision of a parent would have gone a long way in preventing this from happening. The sad part, I get the feeling there's a thought process involved here that can best be summed by "Hmmm... Bad thing happened... Sucks to be me... How can I get the most dollars out of this?"
Remember when punishing a criminal was justice, not monetary reparations?
