New York judge rules an IP address is not a person http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USbVKJuRpl8

A judge in New York has ruled that Internet searches and downloads and other activities done on your personal computer do not mean you are the person behind them.

This ruling could cause a problem when it comes to CISPA. In this case, an individual allegedly downloaded an adult film illegally and the judge's ruling has made many Internet freedom advocates happy.

Mitch Stoltz, a staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, joins us with more.

One good thing about NY the Judge & Lawyer ratio there has kept many of corrupt cops at bay.

Hats off to some real constitutionalists.

If the judge has a heart attack, you know it wasn't due to natural causes.
