Excerpts from mail: 11-Feb-96 Re: A Rant about Senator Ja.. by Ed Carp@dal1820.computek
I'm now a plaintiff in the ACLU/EFF lawsuit challenging the CDA, BTW. Two articles on our lawsuit are at:
http://fight-censorship.dementia.org/fight-censorship/dl?num=1063 http://fight-censorship.dementia.org/fight-censorship/dl?num=1067
How does one join the lawsuit?
I believe that ACLU/EFF/EPIC have found the necessary plaintiffs for the court challenge, but they still may be interested in others. Send me mail and I'll pass it along. (The original call for plaintiffs went out last fall, and the lawsuit was filed last week.) But generally, to be a plaintiff you have to have standing to sue. You have to be specificially hurt or negatively affected by the law. The plaintiffs include folks who run web sites, mailing lists, and offer other public online resources that may happen to include indecent or patently offensive speech. Say, the hearing when we find out if we get an injunction preventing enforcement of the CDA is going to be this Wednesday in Philadelphia. Anyone else want to go? -Declan
