That's the ultimate conclusion drawn in a study released today by the Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank. The report, entitled, "Nameless in Cyberspace: Anonymity on the Internet," was written by Jonathan D. Wallace, an attorney and software company executive. In comparing Internet speech to the anonymous speech popular at the founding of the United States, Wallace said, "Anonymous and pseudonymous speech on the Internet forms a part of the rich tradition of such speech in prior media including print, and is entitled to the same First Amendment protections." But Wallace also warned that, "Legislation against anonymity threatens to end that rich tradition and should be opposed." In an interview with Newsbytes, Solveig Singleton, director of information studies for the Cato Institute, indicated that there is a continuous stream of proposed restrictive legislation being "floated around," but that in many cases, due to the complexity of the issue, these proposals do not go anywhere. .. However, in citing the benefits of anonymity, the study mentions that many well-known historical papers and articles, all controversial in their time, were written anonymously because the authors feared persecution if their identities became known. As examples, the report cites Thomas Paine's "Common Sense," written under the name, "An Englishman," and the "Federalist Papers," written under the name "Publius." ... Wallace's response is that law enforcement officials must find other "solutions" to anonymity problems. "Better security practices as a preventative measure are a logical first step," he said. ..
