Not having a detailed knowledge of the American right to free speach I can only go on my opinions, but lieing with the intent to defraud would almost certainly be illegal over here.

So where lies intent to defraud in the act of deliberately mislabeling a web page? Why is that any different from me standing on the street corner (or at Hyde Park Corner) announcing that I'm the Messiah?

I seem to have edited the previous message badly and left out the context which was false labeling on pages for which there was a charge to view. More along the lines of false advertising to be sure but still fraud in my opinion. Also, of course, it would be very hard to show that you were not, in fact, the Messiah (;->).
