the newspaper business

In case you hadn’t noticed, there is some serious blogging going on which is being threatened.

Bug Girl writes a very entertaining blog - yes, about bugs. I ran across one of her posts by “stumbling” or following a tag or some other random way.
She’s been in my RSS reader since a long time ago. I don’t understand a lot of what she writes, but there is always some fun stuff in her posts.
But she may quit!
She may quit because she might get sued.

Neurodiversity is a science blog run by one woman with a passion for neurology and science. And now she’s been served with an order to turn over all her financial records, all correspondence with fellow bloggers, and a host of additional personal details, just because she blogged about a topic related to the case.

And she links to this site that explains more about the legal thuggery.

If you “stumble” or “digg” posts, please visit the link above and give it your push. This legal thuggery needs to see the light of day and feel the heat of public outrage.
