NZ Judge Bans Online Publishing of Accuseds' Names 219
The Master Moose writes "A judge in New Zealand has banned the press from reporting online the names of two men accused of murder. The names of the men will be allowed to be reported in print as well as through Television and Radio broadcast. It would seem he has taken this step to prevent someone 'googling' these peoples names in the future and finding them linked to a crime if found innocent."

I was assuming that the person involved wasn't retarded.
All bets are off if after doing all this you log into your myspace and update your name and address.

Ok, so the judge banned the press from doing this. But it's impossible to stop some random person (probably not even in New Zealand) from posting this information online. Sounds like maybe this judge needs to think a little harder about how the Internet works.
Like a set of tubes?

That would be a great way to frame someone, though.
