With legal demands staring in its face, MySpace said that it will release data on registsred sex offenders that it has identified and removed from its website.
Citing federal privacy laws, MySpace at first denied a demand from North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper and other states, who asked for data on how many registered sex offenders are using MySpace and where they live.
MySpace agreed to provide the information to all states after some members of the group filed subpoenas and took other legal actions to demand it. MySpace obtained the data from Sentinel Tech Holding Corp., which the company partnered with in December to build a database with information on sex offenders in the United States.

You know,
This whole MySpace debate is just about the silliest political football I have seen in years. Is it illegal to have a profile on it?
