'In simple terms, a company may silence free speech if the person they are silencing is a cyber-squatter directly using their name to exercise his or her free speech even without commercial gain.' This summary seems extremely inaccurate of the final ruling, which says that they ruled that it did NOT constitute an attack on free speech, since it was merely a question of whether he could criticize the company under the company's own name. They're not 'silencing' the person, they're moving it somewhere else. And doesn't 'cybersquatting' usually refer to someone gaining the web address for the purposes of selling it? There's no indication here that Kremer did that.Questingbeast (talk) 20:12, 24 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Lead Section

edit

To the second INFO 237 reviewer on this article - I was the first INFO 237 reviewer of this article. I made some changes on wording and typos as well as some content modification, but I left much of the content untouched to avoid trespassing on your assignment. You may have already noticed this, but one thing that especially needs work is the lead section:

  • There is no indication of the significance of this case
  • It is filled with legalese
  • Most importantly, it does not seem like the description of the court's holding is accurate

Just a heads-up, since I know it's easy to neglect the lead section when you're editing the rest of the article. Kgrutter (talk) 22:52, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Procedural Background

edit

Didn't yet change it because I wasn't sure, but the 1st bullet point says

"Kremer's use of the Bosley name in his website is free speech, therefore Bosley is attempting to chill Kremer's free speech through lawsuits in violation of California's Anti-SLAPP law."

Shouldn't this be "...kill free speach"? DpwnShift (talk) 21:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
