A judge protects the anonymity of bloggers

Joining at least six other states, a state court judge in Nashville has ruled that anonymous bloggers are entitled to legal protections before being unmasked.

A Tennessee judge ruled that people who seek to learn the identities of anonymous bloggers must first make a showing that they would be able to prove a libel case. With the ruling, the judge joined courts in Arizona, California, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Texas and the District of Columbia, which have held that plaintiffs in a lawsuit can’t simply demand to know a blogger’s identity without first establishing that they stand a chance of prevailing in a libel lawsuit. http://xrl.in/1s78
