EFF Says First Amendment Protects Links To Leaked Corporate Documents

K.C. Jones, InformationWeek

An advocacy group claims the First Amendment allows citizen journalists to link from public Web pages to electronic copies of damaging internal documents...

"Preventing a citizen-journalist from posting links to important health information on a public wiki violates the First Amendment," EFF Senior Staff Attorney Fred von Lohmann said in a prepared statement. "Eli Lilly's efforts to censor these documents off the Internet are particularly outrageous in light of the information reported by The New York Times, which suggests that doctors and patients who use Zyprexa need to know the information contained in those documents."
