The Dimeo Lawsuit, and the need to protect our freedoms
As you may know Anthony Dimeo is suing me:
One from today that has a quote by me
Here are two more articles about this:
The original news article
One from Friday (It slightly takes that hero quote of mine out of contest, but not that bad. I said that I was fighting this suit not just for me but to protect the 1st amendment, but that I wasn't a hero for doing it, I was just doing something that had to be done. I was trying to be humble, but I kinda suck at it)
And then a GREAT piece that fully explains why this lawsuit is such a big deal. If you care about free speech or the internet at all, I suggest you read this article, its good. [Also, the text of the actual complaint is linked on that site]
I list all the threads on my message board that are of issue here.
As of right now, I do not have any further specific comment on the case, aside from this:
There is no question that on an average day, I am a huge attention whore, but that is not what is going on here. This is not about me; this is a very serious legal matter, not just for me, but for the entire internet. The issues at stake here could potentially affect every single website and individual who posts on messageboards and chatrooms.
I try not to ask much of you people, but please send the relevant links/my blog post to anyone and everyone you can who has a site that could talk about this and publicize it, and if you have a website, please post about and publicize this case.
In defending my rights I will by proxy be defending everyone's free speech rights, and by writing about this you will be helping defend this cause. The more attention that we focus on this case, the better the chances that freedom will prevail and censorship will be beaten back.
Remember: I don't ask that you endorse me or my site, but only that you endorse the fight against censorship.
NOTE: The actual lawsuit (it is linked on the MyElectionAnaylsis.com post) lists an address for me. That is NOT my address, it is the address of the bar that I am an owner in, Vapor.
EDIT: This is Volokh's take on it.
