The 19-year-old filmed himself on a webcam in his bedroom and streamed the video online.

He had told users of the website that he would be committing suicide and invited them to watch.

It has been reported that Biggs had earlier written a suicide note in which he said he hated himself for being a failure and felt bad about having hurt other people.

Those watching Biggs take the pills before lying on his bed are thought to have insulted him and egged him on, reportedly thinking that the event was fake and that Biggs had not taken an overdose.

It is alleged that viewers then contacted police, who burst into Biggs’s room, where they found his body slumped on his bed, and turned off the camera.

One report suggested that as many as 1,500 people watched the live suicide.

The death was confirmed by the Broward County medical examiner.

Mr Biggs was a member of the bodybuilding.com forum under the name CandyJunkie and was known as Feels Like Ecstasy on justin.tv, it was reported.

Justin.tv is an open network of thousands of live streaming channels.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation strikes out against the governor of Kentucky…

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) urged a Kentucky Court of Appeals Wednesday to vacate a lower court’s order authorizing the seizure of more than 100 Internet domain names associated with websites operating around the globe. The seizure, and the lower court’s exercise of jurisdiction over global domain names, threatens free speech across the Internet. In a move to combat what it viewed as illegal online gambling, the Commonwealth of Kentucky convinced a state court to “seize” 141 domain names because the names allegedly constituted “gambling devices” that are banned under Kentucky law — even though the sites were owned and operated by individuals outside of the state, and in many cases even outside of the country. Unless the sites screened out Kentucky users, the court held, the seizure order was proper.

In its amicus brief filed with the Court of Appeals on Wednesday in support of a writ vacating the judge’s order, EFF, CDT, and the ACLU argue that the First Amendment, the Commerce Clause, and the Due Process Clause of the Constitution prohibit state courts from interfering with Internet domain names that were registered and maintained outside the state. The brief argues that the seizure order was invalid because it threatened to impede access to a broad range of materials protected by the First Amendment.

“The court’s theory — that a state court can order the seizure of Internet domain names regardless of where the site was registered — is not only wrong but dangerous,” said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Matt Zimmerman. “If the mere ability to access a website gives every court on the planet the authority to seize a domain name if a site’s content is in some way inconsistent with local law, the laws of the most world’s most repressive regimes will effectively control cyberspace.”

As part of his ruling, the judge in Kentucky held that the domain names could be seized if they refused to implement “geographic blocks” to prevent Kentucky users from accessing the material. However, no such reliable filters exist, and even poor ones cost thousands of dollars. Any order requiring their use would unconstitutionally burden First Amendment rights.

“If the Kentucky order is upheld, no speech that conflicts with any law, anywhere in the world, would be safe from censorship,” said John Morris, general counsel for CDT. “Just as Kentucky is trying to take down sites located around the world, any government seeking to stifle free expression could try to interfere with lawful speech hosted in the United States.”

“A key free speech principle that has emerged from Internet litigation is this: Governments may not prohibit all access to websites as a remedy for unlawful behavior,” said David Friedman, ACLU of Kentucky General Counsel.
