Chilling Effects Cease & Desist Clearinghouse

Wendy Seltzer writes: "The Berkman Center for Internet & Society, EFF, and other major law school clinics have launched ChillingEffects.org to combat the chilling effect of Cease & Desist letters with ungrounded legal threats. (Slashdot readers got a site preview in the story on the Bnetd Cease & Desist, already in our database.) If you have received a Cease & Desist, we invite you to add it to the database, where law students will analyze the legalese and annotate the C&Ds with Frequently Asked Questions and answers. The site already offers several sets of general legal FAQs."

He's quite articulate...

I had never read any of Jack Valenti's writings up to this point, and I must say he's quite poignant. Unlike many of my fellow slashdot posters, he makes sound and specific arguments which flows gracefully from assertion to conclusion.

I wish I could say the same for slashdot...
