[Forwarded with permission. Harvey and Andrew have done some remarkable work on behalf of liberty and I hope folks can help them. But remember, technology is a more steadfast friend of anonymity than the law. Practice safe computing! --DBM] ******** From: "Harvey A. Silverglate" <hasat_private> To: "'McCullagh, Declan'" <declanat_private> Cc: <agoodat_private> Subject: anonymity in e-mail Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 11:24:02 -0400 Declan, Andy Good and I are litigating a case in the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in which one of our claims is that a subpoena seeking production of e-mails is violative of the First Amendment where some of that e-mail was sent and received anonymously and where it involves political speech. We're interested in knowing the latest cases being litigated in this area so that we can be in touch with counsel in those cases in order to get copies of their briefs. Can you be of any help in pointing us in the right direction? Please respond to both Andy <agoodat_private> and me, since I'll be leaving town this afternoon, not returning til Saturday night. Mucho thanks. Hope you're well, and happy, and not running out of pretty women to photograph. Harvey Harvey A.
