No.

Sure about that?

The young woman who typed the final, cruel message to 13-year-old Megan Meier the day she killed herself testified Thursday that it was she -- and not defendant Lori Drew -- who came up with the idea to create a fake MySpace account as a boy who first flirted and then turned on the troubled teen.

Grills was in the kitchen with Drew and Sarah, Lori Drew's then-13-year-old daughter, when she proposed creating a fake MySpace account to get information on Megan. Drew applauded the plan, and thought it was funny, but did not herself conceive it, Grills said.

Not her idea. She approved of it, was present, should have stopped it from happening, but she didn't do it. The kids did it.
Judge hasn't ruled on this yet, AFAIK:

The federal judge presiding over the Lori Drew trial on Monday put off deciding whether to throw out the case and acquit the defendant, as requested by a defense motion on Friday.

When the prosecution rested its case Friday at about 2:00 p.m., defense attorney H. Dean Steward moved for an immediate dismissal, based on testimony that proved Drew never saw MySpace's contract, and wasn't the one who set up the account and accepted the terms.

I hope the judge sends her to prison.

Do you really think people should go to federal prison for violating fine print in a website TOS? Shall I make Vile the next test case?

For a website TOS? No, but judges have it well within their purview to examine the circumstances and results when determining sentence.

The whole deal with this case is prison for violating a website TOS.

Damages need to be quantifiable,

No. They don't. Violate website TOS, go to jail. 1 year per incident. If you do it in furtherance of a tortuous act, its a felony and you could go to prison for a very long time.
