During oral arguments in Pittsburgh last week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court became the first state-level high court in the nation to consider whether the First Amendment protects the anonymity of the authors of online political criticism. The justices' decision in the case of Melvin v. Doe could set a precedent for courts in other U.S. jurisdictions, where thousands of similar lawsuits are flooding the dockets. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1046833548027 ____________________ Chris Spurgeon Senior Design Technologist cspurgeon () electronicink com ELECTRONIC INK One South Broad Street 19th Floor Philadelphia, PA 19107 www.electronicink.com t 215.922.3800 x(233) f 215.922.3880 <FONT Face=Verdana Size=1>This e-mail is intended solely for the above-mentioned recipient and it may contain confidential or privileged information.
