Pills? If you're going to live broadcast your own death, make it more interesting than watching paint dry. Sheesh.
I'm guessing your day job involves creating content for greeting cards?

#15Sad story. I'm sure they'll get a new statement out.

#16This is one of those critical moments that may well define how people think about this company in the future. As mentioned before, the CEO needs to do better, right away. Just to clarify, I am referring to the response, not to the actual event.
I don't really see how this would define how people see the company behind Justin.tv at all. You would have to find a pretty delusional person to claim that IRC had its reputation sullied by Brandon Vedas when he did the same thing a few years ago.

This also might be a critical moment when people have to decide what rights and responsibilities a site has to the content it distributes, whether that be HD-DVD keys or a video stream of one's suicide.

He's not talking about the incident. He's talking about the CEO's bad response, and the deafening silence since.

#19This is horrible.
Hopefully it gives the Justin.tv community a reality check. They were egging him on?!? As someone who volunteers on a suicide helpline, I'm amazed that people won't condemn that kind of behavior before it causes real harm.

#20A kid broadcasts his death on your service, allegedly egged on by your community, and your CEO statement falls back on cut-and-paste boilerplate? Do better. Fast.

You HAVE to fall on boilerplate or you will be crucified, by your lawyer if no one else. You just have to pick the right boilerplate:
If what you say has happened, that is a terrible tragedy. We will be conducting an internal investigation of the matter. Justin.tv in no way condones comments of the nature you have described. If we find that someone has breached our acceptable comment policies, we will deal with it as harshly as allowed to by law.
