Lawsuits without specifics are without merit, says judge:
DOVER, Del. - In a decision hailed by free-speech advocates, the Delaware Supreme Court on Wednesday reversed a lower court decision requiring an Internet service provider to disclose the identity of an anonymous blogger who targeted a local elected official.In a 34-page opinion, the justices said a Superior Court judge should have required Smyrna town councilman Patrick Cahill to make a stronger case that he and his wife, Julia, had been defamed before ordering Comcast Cable Communications to disclose the identities of four anonymous posters to a blog site operated by Independent Newspapers Inc., publisher of the Delaware State News.
Those following my recent history know this is probably a good thing for me, and for bloggers in general.
Save the comments. Save the blogs :)
It looks like the bully lawsuits against blogs are soon to be a thing of the past.
