The California Supreme Court today struck down Intel's injunction preventing a former employer from sending email to current employees. The majority decision, while informed by public interest considerations, did not directly rule on the free speech issues in the case. Rather, the opinion finds that the CA trespass to chattle law requires a showing that the email harms the computer server to which it is sent, or there is no tort, and that there are compelling reasons not to change that rule for the Internet. The full opinion is available here.
