Blackmail, extortion, defamation, libel

How would they proof that the original comment wasn't libel? I doubt the have cross refrenced commenters IP addresses with the numbers listed. And if you relay libel (especially with malicious intent) it is still libel or maybe even blackmail.

it would appear that they are attempting to hide behind free speech (creating an "artwork"). i'm certainly not a lawyer but this seems pretty transparent

[codesuela → milkshakes]

Here is another "artist" who claimed free speech[1] so calling yourself an artist is not blanket protection against prosecution. Also libel is not covered under free speech although I too ANAL.

maybe they want to be taken to court, and that's part of the performance? i like art, but i don't understand postmodernism

What if their database is empty?

[PeterisP → praptak]

Well, then charging $10 to view it would clearly match the definition of fraud.

[praptak → PeterisP]

Yes, but it's hard to prove. And they could stuff it with a few fake numbers so it's not technically empty.

[solistice → praptak]

aren't they charging 10$ to check for you whether your number is in the database, not 10$ for full database acess?

[praptak → solistice]

That's the point - they can safely pocket the 10$ and return "this number is not in our database".

[solistice → praptak]

Well, i assume they at least run a database query for giggles. I mean 10$ for a database query...SELECT Cash FROM USERS WHERE USERGULLIBILITY > 5 GO There's my 10$.
