MySpace Crime Rings?

Okay I'm not going to go on and on about how MySpace is the most awful thing to exist.  But after reading this article

 (http://cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/22/driveway.shooting.ap/index.html)

and recalling a previous one (A 13 year old girl committed suicide after being targeted by an ex-best friend's mother with insulting MySpace messages.) I think that something has to be done.  Not necessarily that cybercop needs to shut this one down, but Internet stalking, or assaulting should be made into law (details decided upon by states).  That girl's family will not get any sort of compensation from the woman (who still lives on their street) because there is no such law in existence.  This man (yea he killed the boy and deserves a manslaughter conviction) would never have been in such a situation if the bogus MySpace allegations had been dealt with.  There is no reason to shut the website down (even if I hate it), but there needs to be well-known consequences to such actions, or these events will continue to occur (reported or not).
