The following article makes me very happy. Looks like an ex of mine can't even press that request button. But isn't it crazy how much MySpace is effecting society??

MySpace 'Friend Request' Violates Protection Order

NEW YORK (AP) ? A Staten Island judge says that sending a MySpace friend request to someone who has an order of protection against you is against the law.

The ruling this week lets stand charges that a 16-year-old broke the law when she sent friend requests on the social networking site to a woman and her two daughters.

Criminal Court Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino Jr. ruled that even though MySpace users can ignore, deny or block friend requests, "that request was still a contact, and no contact was allowed" by the temporary order of protection.

The defendant is charged with misdemeanor second-degree criminal contempt; a trial date has not been set. Her attorney has declined comment.
