On the web sites that I maintain, I have a stated policy that we
intend to challenge subpoenas for our web logs and user database. Of
course, talk is cheap, and I'd hope to find funding for lawyers or
pro-bono work. Then again, it's a likely possibility: When I got a
subpoena, I found pro bono counsel (and excellent one too).
