If there were a site on which the minimum age a user can be is 13, could someone who continuously spammed such a site with pornographic imagery be imprisoned or subjected to any other lawful punishment?

To a certain degree, yes, depending on your location.

They'll prolly just delete it the account and not take legal action. It's a waste of time and money for a huge corporation like CBS.

Could you be more specific? Also, when you mention location, are you referring to the location of the spammer or that of the site's headquarters?

How long could they be imprisoned? Also, besides prison, what other punishments can the spammer be subjected to?

Depends on the state. And most cyber crimes are dealt with by the Sheriffs Department, so I really have no idea.

In that case, I've never really heard of it happening.

The punishment and specifics vary from location to location. You'd have to Google more specifics for the location in question.

Why would the legal system want to waste its time. The site wouldn't bother reporting the incident.

No. I don't know of.....wait. There could be a state law which states that you can't show a minor pornography. But still, thats a long shot.

But really, no one is ever going to do that. They will just keep banning your IP untill you run out of proxies.

I don't think it would be possible. The internet is a gray zone a lot stuff can go down.

It would be a landmark case that would likely go to the Supreme Court. You can't know who is borwising the site, it's the sites responisbility to keep the users safe. If anything, the site might be abel to get sued, but it's still a long shot.
