The Cyberlaw Clinic is representing Swarthmore students Luke Smith and Nelson Pavlosky in their lawsuit against Diebold, maker of electronic voting machines. Smith and Pavlosky posted an email archive showing some problems with Diebold's proprietary e-voting software engineering on the website of their student group, Swarthmore Coalition for the Digital Commons. Diebold then threatened Smith and Pavlosky with a suit for copyright infringment and successfully squelched the emails. For more information on this case, see the Cyberlaw Clinic page, or the documents archive on the Electronic Frontier Foundation website. EFF is representing co-Plaintiff Online Policy Group, an ISP which was also threatened.
