This just in: Kentucky has the Internet.
However, at least one of their lawmakers doesn’t “get” it: “Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal.”
The bill would require all Web sites to force anyone submitting content to register with their full name, address and email address. Any sites that publish comments from the elusive Anonymous will receive fines ranging from $500-1000.
Who would be hit hardest by this bill? Day planners and poetry Web sites, of course. Also affected would be any site publishing the work of anonymous bard William Shakespeare, whoever the hell that was; Mark Twain (real full name: Samuel Clemmons); and the Federalist Papers.
