	Godwin's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990.
		Godwin's law was named after Mike Godwin, an attorney who was legal counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation at the time the law was first popularized.
		Godwin's standard answer to this objection is to note that Godwin's law does not dispute whether, in a particular instance, a reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be apt.

	CYBER RIGHTS: DEFENDING FREE SPEECH IN THE DIGITAL AGE
		Godwin writes in a personal style that is often humble and unassuming, despite clear evidence that his work has changed national policy on important legal issues as far ranging as on-line libel and cyber-pornography.
		Godwin briefly discusses Catherine MacKinnon's work on pornography and speech, but it might have been useful to delve more deeply into the feminist legal perspective of how a reasonable woman standard of threat may be different from a reasonable person's standard.
		Godwin does not interpret Baker's fiction with the name of a real woman, or his non-fiction with no specific women named, as a threat because legally it is not defined as one (p.133).

		Mike Godwin: Charleston, what I'm hoping, with regard to our immigration policies, is that we find a balance that continues to allow people to come to American and commit themselves to our social and political ideals, while at the same time screens better for potential "sleeper" agents and terrorists.
		Mike Godwin: Washington, there seems to be no evidence so far that encryption was central to, or even significantly a part of, the terrorist attack that occurred last week.

	RCCS: View Book Info (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Because Mike Godwin, the counsel to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has been and is directly involved in how legal issues in cyberspace emerge and affect citizens, his book reads as a chronicle of the important and initial efforts by a few to preserve free speech in cyberspace.
		Godwin's involvement in this panic in 1995 and his subsequent work to make sure that CDA was defeated make for a particularly engaging and profoundly troublesome account because Godwin is clearly impassioned about threats to free speech and because others seem bent on silencing some modes of speech.
		For Godwin, the determination that CDA was unconstitutional stressed that the impulse to "protect" and therefore "censor" cyberspace often emerges from fears and ill-informed perceptions about the medium and that the cyberspace itself is certainly protected by the First Amendment.

		Those Godwin has angered over the years with his seemingly cold persistence will most likely be the ones to raise questions about the versions he presents of the multitude of cases and controversies in which he has played an active role.
		Godwin is so taken with this chapter of his life, he tells the story twice, albeit from different angles.
		Godwin is passionate about values like truth, freedom and justice, and there are times when that passion can carry his rhetoric into territory some in the late '90s might deem hokey -- such as when he calls for a "Digital American Revolution" at a CDA victory rally.

		Godwin has contacted the editors of Greplaw to expressly deny Seth Finkelstein's implication that Godwin has shared (or would share) any privileged information with the RIAA, or with any other party adverse to Seth Finkelstein's interests.
		Godwin further denies being in the possession of privileged information regarding Seth Finkelstein that has not already been publicly disclosed by Seth Finkelstein.
		What Seth did claim, and what Godwin apparently does not deny, is that Godwin publicly attacked Seth using confidential information--which is by the way no longer secret--that Godwin had obtained "within the framework of an attorney-client relation which he briefly had with Seth," to use the words that Seth quoted from James Tyre.

		The whole strategy of the litigation, Godwin believes, was for the SPA to "establish the kinds of measures the industry should take in response to complaints about copyright infringement," in this case, shifting the burden of enforcement to ISPs, a move that would have a chilling effect on ISPs ability to do business.
		And second, Godwin shows that the First Amendment, and much of the law that has sprouted up over its application over the past few centuries, resolves most of the issues that are now arising on the Net.
		Since Godwin believes that much of the backlash against the Net is due to misunderstanding the dynamics of Net culture, he has taken it upon himself, with the publication of this book, to lift some of this veil of misunderstanding.

	Mike Godwin and Acting Like A Lawyer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In general Mike acted like a trial lawyer at a deposition where there was no judge to keep him in line.
		Now the really sad thing is that when Mike's opponents, not understanding that a lawyer doesn't think that he is lying when he insists on responding to an argument that his opponents did not make and repeatedly denied ever making, called him a liar, he totally lost control.
		I don't know what Mike would have done if they had just pointed out that it is conduct like Mike's that makes us lawyers so unpopular with those who cannot tell a lie from a misleading characterization of an argument.

	More on the Greplaw Case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		I regret that when I started this thread I used as the subject line "Godwin's up to his old tricks'' since that has obviously obscured the issue that I wished to raise, which is not about Godwin, except to the extent that his actions brought the issue rather forcibly to my attention.
		In the old days, when the freedom of the press belonged to the man who owned one, and presses were very expensive, this was not a serious problem--publishers threatened with claims of defamation could simply refer the matter to their lawyers.
		I think it is an indication of the extent of the problem that, as Godwin informs us, he did not propose the solution of adding the additional material to the archived version of Greplaw's interview with Seth (even though he did apparently supply the text of the additional material).
