>Spamming the First Amendment: Intel v. Hamidi
>
>Currently on appeal to the California Supreme Court, Intel v. Hamidi 
>exemplifies the clash between traditional legal doctrine and emerging 
>technologies. Implicating First Amendment protections and the legitimate 
>interests of private property owners, this landmark case challenges the 
>way we conceptualize free speech in virtual spaces.
>
>In 1996, Intel fired employee Kourosh Kenneth Hamidi. Over the next two 
>years, Hamidi sent unsolicited e-mails that reached nearly 30,000 Intel 
>employees. After the company unsuccessfully lobbied Hamidi to stop sending 
>the messages, Intel filed suit. Arguing that its ownership of the system 
>used to distribute Hamidi's e-mails gave it a judicially-enforceable right 
>to bar his messages, Intel successfully beat back Hamidi's First Amendment 
>claims.
>
>Join opposing counsel Michael Jacobs from Morrison & Foerster, and Anne 
>Brick from the ACLU for a candid discussion about this important case. 
>Moderated by John Place and presented by the Center for Internet & 
>Society, the discussion will take place Monday, March 4, from 12:30-2:00 
>p.m. in the Moot Court Room (Room 80). Come hear about this seminal case 
>from those who know it best.
