Civil Liberties Groups Raise Privacy and Speech Concerns with Domain Name Registration Legislation - Five civil liberties groups, including CDT, sent a letter asking the House Judiciary Committee to consider the privacy and civil liberties impacts of a bill that would expand penalties in copyright, trademark, and criminal suits against Internet users who included false information in domain name registrations. The groups asked the Committee to put off approval of the bill until a hearing on its impacts on private domain name holders and on protected speech online could be held. May 04, 2004
