Internet Privacy, On the Radio
I was interviewed this morning on Oregon Public Broadcasting's "Think Out Loud" program on privacy on the Internet, stemming from a Bend, Ore. rape case in which the defendant is seeking the entire contents of the victim's Google search history.

Judge Defends His Decision on Blogger
(cross posted at the Citizen Media Law Project)
Federal Judge Marco A. Hernandez got a lot of attention and cyberchatter late last year when he held that blogger Crystal Cox was not protected by Oregon's reporters' shield law, leading to a $2.5 million defamation verdict against her. See Obsidian Finance Group, LLC v. Cox, No. CV-11-57-H (D. Or. Nov. 30, 2011).
