For theft it is, even our lame courts will find that true!

How is it identity theft????
DO you go around asking every person called brendan to have your name back and an exclusiveity clause be placed on it???

As far as I know, your identity is your full name in combination with your DOB.
Drivers licence, pasport and medicare numbers embellish this identity.
Finger prints and dental records are another version of physical identity.

If someone logs onto your net bank, steals your dentures or dermis, or has the same drivers licence numbers as your thats identity theft, but if someone impersonates a nick name and talks shit, thats .....a big nothing.

What was more of a concern was that the site was up for sale therefore someone was buying all our AF identities, at least as far as the site was concerned.

AT the end of the day, they can have my name, I dont care, but I couldn't agree less with ROB that AF should have a criteria of legitimacy of names.
