"Free speech principles should turn not upon newly minted distinctions between pen-and-ink and point-and-click," lawyers from the EFF and Stanford Law School Dean Kathleen M. Sullivan argue. Instead, speech on the Internet demands the same high level of protection as off-line speech. Further, the linking injunction saps the "lifeblood of the Internet" without adequate justification.
