Enjoin the Intent to Annoy Act

Posted February 9, 2006 11:02 PM

Declan McCullagh [via Politech] posted links to the complaint [pdf] and news coverage regarding the operator of an anonymous emailing service who filed an injunction against enforcing the law which seems to have some free speech implications:

"respectfully requests that the Court enter judgment as follows:
A. Declare that 47 U.S.C. ยง223 violates the First and Fifth Amendments of the United States Constitution;
B. Preliminarily and permanently enjoin defendants from enforcing the
above-noted statutory provision;"

I'm just glad the act doesn't apply to weblogs... otherwise how would I amuse myself.
