"Your analogy fails."

Only in your mind. Again, fraud isn't was is belong alleged here - "cyberbullying" and stalking is. If it's fraudulent, the charge them with fraud. It isn't fraudulent because there alleged perpetrators have not enriched themselves or benefited in any way. A basic understanding of criminal law, might be helpful here.

Perhaps Facebook could file a civil suit for fraudulent infringement, but that would be ENTIRELY up to Facebook. It would not be a criminal allegation, but a civil allegation.

See post 23, the creators of the ‘parody’ were in-fact in breach of contract.
Period.

“Only in your mind.”

You really need to do more research.

In Florida, what the kids did was a criminal offence under the stalker laws.

The first amendment does not give anyone the right to do anything, anytime, anywhere, as some apparently think.

If so, someone could justify murder in that they were just exercising their first amendment rights to express their displeasure w/the victim.

Reference on Florida law below.

Misdemeanor or First Degree
Misdemeanor stalking is intentionally following, calling or using the Internet to harass another person. Under Florida law, misdemeanor stalking involves the intent to cause distress, but not necessarily to do bodily harm. The maximum punishment for misdemeanor stalking in Florida is a jail sentence of one year, plus fines that start at $1,000.

Have you impressed yourself yet with your bloated, contrarian horse manure?
Do some homework. There are limits to “free speech”, and whether or not the “alleged perpetrators ... enriched themselves or benefited in any way” requires an assumption on your part. Or maybe you think it’s fine and legal for somebody to point a gun at your head as long as they don’t pull the trigger?
