Since that editorial was published (back in 2007), the person who wrote it, Nicholas Merrill, has been "partially un-gagged": he is now able to talk publicly about portions of the case.

A followup Washington Post article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08...

He also did an IAmA post on reddit, which has a lot of information: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/fjfby/iama_director_of...

(Since reddit is down right now, here's the cached Google version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttp%...)

Edit: Wanted to add a link to a later followup post he made on Reddit, talking about his plans to start a "Non-profit ISP and Teleco": http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/fkndx/update_nat...

(And the Google cached version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttp%...)

Edit: And in case people are curious about the actual court case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doe_v._Ashcroft



Sorry for the old link. I usually check dates more carefully, but this was sent to me by a newsie so I didn't pay as close attention.

Thanks for the additional info, though: having the follow-up links makes me less sad I posted it.


He also did a fairly decent talk at the most recent Chaos Conf, 23c3:

Old, but the aftermath is really relevant. I am really glad of this post, and the amazing comments it ensued.


He did also do an AMA on reddit.

Edit: I see you added the link. This article, for everyone else's info, was done Mar 23, 07 d:D
