Plaintiff ASSOCIATION OF PUBLISHERS, EDITORS AND
WRITERS ("APEW") sues on behalf of its members, who write and
publish in print and online.  Members of APEW include the San
Francisco Guardian, the largest and oldest independently owned
alternative newsweekly in the United States; the Internet Press
Guild, an unincorporated association of writers, authors and
journalists who publish their works online; the California First
Amendment Coalition, a nonprofit, public interest corporation
whose membership comprises approximately 700 individuals and
organizations, including most of California's daily newspapers,
many weekly and student newspapers, broadcasters, law firms and
others; and individual writers and editors including Jim Warren,
a columnist and advocate for open government, and owner and
editor of the listserv GovAccess; Professor David Farber of the
University of Pennsylvania; John Quarterman, a columnist and
Secretary of Matrix Information and Directory Services, Inc.; T.
Bruce Tober, a freelance writer who researches and writes about
the Internet for a variety of print and online publications;
Stephanie Stefanac, Editor of MacWorld Online, a monthly trade
publication for users of the Macintosh computer manufactured by
Apple Computer Co.; and Rogier van Bakel, a Contributing Editor
to Wired Magazine.  The members of APEW face criminal
prosecutions under the Act for the online publication of works
which some communities might find "indecent" or "patently
offensive."  The vagueness of the Act leaves APEW members
uncertain whether the publication of their works over the
Internet would be a crime.
