This was the only way to prosecute Drew for her involvement in Meier's suicide - accusing her of fraudulently creating a MySpace account. </p> <p><span class="inline left"></span>However, it already looks like the case could be thrown out, because she has testified that she <a href="http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/11/lori-drew-pla-4.html" target="_blank">never read MySpace's terms of use</a>, nor did she agree to them.</p> <p>I personally cannot remember the last time I actually read a website's terms of use; I agree to them, sure, but it's rare that I actually read the fine print. Am I setting myself up for disaster? Maybe - it could depend on the outcome of this case. Tell me: Do you actually read the terms of use for every website that presents it to you?</p> <p><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/Home.aspx" target="_blank">Source</a></p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/Lori-Drew-MySpace-Fraud-Trial-May-Dismissed-Because-Drew-Never-Read-Terms-Use-2535430" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Do You Ever Read Websites&#039; Terms of Use?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-2535430" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-2535430" name="edit[choice]" value="0-2535430" class="form-radio" /> Yes, I always read a website's terms of use.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-2535430" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-2535430" name="edit[choice]" value="1-2535430" class="form-radio" /> No, I always gloss over the terms of use.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-2535430" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-2535430" name="edit[choice]" value="2-2535430" class="form-radio" /> Something else.
