A little off topic. This story is about someone trying to sue an anonymous poster on a website. This is a first of its kind case in KY, but has precedent in other states.

From the story:
But in May, a newspaper in the St. Louis area, the Alton Telegraph, was ordered to provide authorities with the identities of two people who commented online about a murder investigation. A judge ruled that Illinois' law shielding journalists from disclosing their sources does not protect online bloggers.

"I think it comes as a surprise to many who regularly post comments (online) that the law of libel applies to them," said Sandra Baron, executive director of the Media Law Resource Center in New York.
