Re:The Point of the court case (Score 2)

No longer their ethical choice to make, no longer OK. They get some sort of contempt charge and a gag order so that publicity about this discovery won't contaminate the larger case or lead to further annonymous harrassment. These obstructionists turn it into a big case and take so long that the person claiming harrassment just gives up and gets on with his her its life and they think thats a victory. Well, so what if someone sends you a threat by snail mail? You can hardly sue the mail company for that, as they don't have the information anyway.. Why shouldn't anonymous mail/cards/whatever not be possible on the internet, just because the information IS available?
