If my friend used an IP relay service through AIM to prank a radio station, can he get in trouble?

Question

Well, he called the radio station and said something stupid like "v*gina please". I HAD called using the service earlier, but only because I didn't really want to talk live on-air - but then he had to use it for a prank. We listened, and the host said he called the police and he's going to call the relay service. Now, note, we used this through AIM (like, you type what you want the person to say, and they say it to the other end of the line)! So, is it even possible that they can find anything other than his screenname? He plans on not even using that screenname.

And could I get in trouble for doing this? Sorry, I'm a little freaked out. I would never prank phone call a radio station, that's just a stupid thing to do...

Answer 1

u will probs get a caution or something lyk that

Answer 2

yes, don't get them angry....they can trace it thu your IP-address...(network)!

but I don't think they have the time to do it, there a bigger fish to catch!!

Answer 3

Yes the call can be traced, but I doubt that the radio station will do it. -

As for getting into trouble yes making prank calls is illegal here in the UK and in the USA. That said I don't think we have many people prosecuted for doing it....
