It’s a story that’s getting more and more frequent these days as Web sofware companies are increasingly being held responsible for the actions of those who use said software. The latest case is a whopper as a French court ordered eBay to pay $61 million due to fake fashion merchandise being sold on eBay’s auction website.

Net Morality Opens for Business
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Net Morality – a site focusing on exposing the seedier side of the World Wide Web. Along with news detailing the internet’s latest hacks and scams, you’ll find my own attempts at shedding light on the lesser known (and morally questionable) “darkside”. From domain squatting and splogs, to blackhat SEO and MySpace, no digital stone will be left unturned as we seek out and uncover the hidden depths of the Web.
Let me throw this out there right now. This is not the place to learn how to further your own devious devices, but rather a place to help equip net users with information that may help them avoid (and maybe even battle against) the shadier side of the Web. Perhaps I may also be able to reveal some new angles on old arguments while helping the more criminal elements out there see the folly of their own ways.
Ok, so that all may sound like just a pipe dream. But everything has to start somewhere right? Well, this website starts now!
