The injunction covers about what you’d expect: Nigmatzyanov, Leshchinskiy, and anybody working with or for them are permanently enjoined from accessing MySpace, from helping anybody else access MySpace illegally, having ownership interest in any entity that attempts to access MySpace illegaly, from phishing MySpace accounts, from helping anybody else phish MySpace accounts, or from having ownership interest in any entity that attempts to phish MySpace accounts.
