MTed, I may be missreading this one but I fail to see that that this house party was "Max's".

Also, I find the statement "Internet service providers must divulge the identities of people who post defamatory messages on the Internet." completely against freedom of speach.

Where will it end, am I not allowed to say "I think so-and-so is a prick" in a personal face to face conversation (which may involve more than one person)? If one reverses the implications from this example, I guess that if this sort of precident is set, it won't be.

This seems to me to be another move towards censoring the internet.
