Thread Name: BS: Suppression of information on the 'Net
Subject: RE: BS: Suppression of information on the 'Net
It's quite clear that the Chilling Effects website is an organisation which is monitoring the suppression of information posted on the net where the poster has been issued with a "cease and desist' order by the copyright holder. The person issued with the order is invited to post details of the order on the Chilling effects website in order that it can be seen by everyone.

The greatest misconception about the net on the part of most people is that the information on it is not subject to copyright laws - which it is. However, it appears that the "cease and desist" business may itself be being abused or used in non-legal ways.
