How EFF saved Indymedia from an unconstitutional subpoena for all its visitors' IP addresses
,----[ Quote ]
| When the US government demanded the IP
| address of every visitor to Indymedia's
| website (and ordered Indymedia to keep the
| request secret), Indymedia called the
| Electronic Frontier Foundation. EFF fought
| the subpoena -- which was grossly
| unconstitutional -- and won. Here's the
| story of how it happened, and remember, if
| you ever get a crazy, unconstitutional
| request from a G-man, stop and call a
| lawyer or get in touch with EFF.
