COURT ORDERS THE ANONYMOUS EMAIL.COM TO TURN OVER SUBSCRIBERS NAME AND PERSONAL INFORMATION.
AnonymousEmail. President refuses to cooperate citing First Amendment Rights
Scottsdale, AZ, August 16, 2005-www.TheAnonymousEmail.com has received a subpoena from Mobilisa, Inc, a developer of mobile and wireless services for the government and military. The subpoena demanded that the anonymous web site disclose the identity of a subscriber who sent an anonymous email to several Mobilisa employees containing a love letter written by one of Mobilisa’s officers to his girlfriend. It appears that the officer is married and the AnonymousEmail sender also emailed a copy to his wife.
On July 15, 2005, Howard R. Baer, founder of TheAnonymousEmail.com, was contacted by the prestigious Washington DC law firm, Preston, Gates and Ellis, requesting all information regarding the identity of the subscriber be saved pending the subpoena. TheAnonymousEmails attorney filed an objection to the subpoena stating that there was no evident reason for the company to turn over its records and that doing so would jeopardize the very existence of TheAnonymousEmail.com.
Baer stated, “If there was a crime committed or someone’s life was threatened, we may consider the request, but from what I can determine the man got caught and is somewhat upset. I have all intentions of maintaining the integrity of our web site and the anonymity of our subscribers and I have no intentions of giving up their name.”
