Freedom of Wiki--1st Amendment Skirmishes over Zyprexa Documents Leaks Online

ADVERTISEMENTS

On January 16, the Eastern District of New York will host the legal battle over the controversial prescription Drug Zyprexa and wiki users? First Amendment right of free speech. The battle revolves around the ?side effect? of an ongoing lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and how some documents, meant to be sealed by court order, found their way to various web servers and a wiki (www.zyprexa.pbwiki.com). The battle will feature the EFF?s lead attorney Fred von Lohmann (also argued on behalf of Grokster) who will defend the rights of a citizen-journalist to link from a public wiki to electronic copies of damaging Lilly documents relating to Zyprexa.
