  SPEECH, SPOUSES, AND STANDING: IS THERE STANDING TO SUE WHEN SANCTIONS THREATENED AGAINST ONE'S SPOUSE CHILL PROTECTED ...
Chilling effects are particularly relevant to standing’s overbreadth doctrine.
In addition to alleging a chilling effect, however, Keene provided objective evidence legitimizing his fear that exhibiting films categorized as propaganda would result in harm to his career by damaging his reputation and consequently reducing the likelihood of his reelection.
To determine whether an alleged chilling injury is an injury in fact required for standing, courts should consider the choice forced by the challenged government action: the choice of whether to forego the right to protected speech or to suffer consequences from exercising the right.

 Chilling Effects on Shoot Emergence and Subsequent Growth in Hosta1
As chilling duration increased, times to shoot emergence and first unfurled leaf and days gained in shoot emergence time per day of chilling decreased at a decreasing rate, leaf area index (length x width) of the first unfurled leaf increased at a decreasing rate and shoot dry weight increased linearly.
Hence, the objective of this study was to determine chilling effects on shoot emergence and subsequent growth of two hosta cultivars.
Chilling duration had no effect on leaf count or offset number (data not shown); the nonsignificance of leaf count may in part relate to the persistence of leaves on non-chilled plants which were counted.

As chilling levels were increased, different aspects of growth increased, such as terminal shoot extension, caliper, total plant height, and total limb length.

 OJR article: Overzealous Lawyers Beware: Today's Sites Are Fighting Back
The people who run the Web site Chilling Effects on the other hand, would like to keep the memory of the legal debacle alive and are doing so by storing the letters in a permanent online archive.
Chilling Effects was created in 2002 by Wendy Seltzer, a lawyer at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
Chilling Effects, which is a joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Harvard's Berkman Center and legal clinics at five other law schools, has filled that void with a wealth of analysis about the legal basis, or lack thereof, for hundreds of demand letters sent to Web publishers and services.

 The Free Expression Policy Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Chilling Effects, a joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and six law school clinical programs, serves as a resource for those who want to know what the law says about areas such as fan fiction, copyright and fair use, domain names, trademarks, anonymous speech, and defamation on the Internet.
Obviously, this is not a scientific sample: those who deposit the letters that they've received with Chilling Effects are likely to be more knowledgeable about their rights than most.
This is because the law requires the ISP to remove the material once the letter (if it's in proper form) has been received, without actual proof of a copyright violation, and then puts the onus on the Web speaker to assert his or her rights.

The ozone layer protects the earth from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, which include skin cancer and cataracts in humans and threats to flora and fauna.
Claudio Casiccia, a physicist who heads the Ozone Laboratory at the University of Magallanes, told IPS that in early October, the hole shrank to 21 million square kilometres, from 24 million square kilometres in August and 28 million square kilometres in September.
But the scientific community itself has warned that the greenhouse effect, caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) and other emissions from the burning of fossil fuels blamed for global warming, is also having an impact on the thinning of the ozone layer.

 Efficient Process or “Chilling Effects”? | P2P Unite
(See www.chillingeffects.org.) The Chilling Effects project consists of a consortium of law school clinics and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and since January, 2002, the project has collected cease-and-desist letters on a variety of intellectual property and other speech-related doctrines such as defamation and unlawful speech.
If the 512(a) effect is borne out, it seems likely that complaints about infringing movies and songs now focus on peer-to-peer networks, where the OSP acts only as a conduit.
We are grateful that Google Inc., ThePlanet, the Internet Archive, and all the individual contributors to the Chilling Effects database have chosen to increase the transparency of this private process by contributing notices; we hope that others will follow suit and increase the robustness of the data set.

 Chilling Effects of the U.S. DMCA on Cryptographic Research - ISOC Member Briefing #8
Although such laws may have an adverse effect on a wide range of conduct, including innovation, research and education, a central question for encryption researchers is whether publishing research results can amount to providing or trafficking in "technology" primarily produced to circumvent protection in violation of the DMCA.
It would appear, however, that legitimate encryption researchers have a strong argument that their research and the publication of their findings are exempt from the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA, at least with respect to encryption controlling access to copyrighted works.
The effect of these mandates is to grant veto power over new technologies to special interest groups who have continually opposed innovation.

 Googled by Chilling Effects Clearinghouse: Geeks and Lawyers in a New Culture War
We who laugh at the old joke that terrorists demanded millions or lawyers would be released one by one from their highjacked plane -- the humor being rooted in dismay over a litigious liberal activism since the 1960s -- may ponder uneasily a joint project of university law school clinics.
She opines that Chilling Effects fights “the ungrounded legal threats that chill activity on the Internet.” But she was challenged recently when the Supreme Court held that her clinics’ clients Grokster et al, opposed by MGM et al, could be liable for copyright infringement when technology is used illegally to download songs or movies.
Accordingly, I recently emailed Professor Jennifer Urban, a director of UC Berkley’s law clinic for Chilling Effects, appealing to her compassion and fairness as a university colleague.

Called Chilling Effects in reference to the way legal threats can freeze out free expression, the project invites Internet users to add their cease-and-desist letters to an online clearinghouse at ChillingEffects.org.
The Chilling Effects project works by publishing cease-and-desist letters received by Internet users and providing detailed information about the relevant legal rules.
For example, if an Internet user receives a letter demanding that she remove a synopsis of a "Star Trek" episode from her website, members of the Chilling Effects team would post the letter online, embedding it with links to information about basic copyright protections, the rules governing synopses, and the fair use doctrine.

Chilling Effects: WIPO and Freedom of Speech Abuses
Using data from the Chilling Effects Project (which collects cease-and-desist orders related to Internet activity), Jennifer Urban and Laura Quilter have documented rampant abuses of the WIPO Copyright Treaty (the bulk of which is in effect in the US and Europe), primarily related to the treaty's "guilty until proven innocent" rules.
In this study, we traced the use of the Section 512 takedown process and considered how the usage patterns we found were likely to affect expression or other activities on the Internet.
