Right to privacy?

Blogging, commenting or opinion giving are much easier shared under pseudonyms, maybe to easy. Steven king wrote under the pseudonym "Richard Bachman" to get around obstacles and increase creativity. That was in the world of print. Today the internet has all new obstacles which range from pesky cyberbullying to serious privacy/security issues.   Kentucky Representative Tim Couch has recently introduced legislation that would make anonymous comments online illegal. If it passes, the legislation would require that users register on a website prior to making comments.This registration would require a user to use their real name, physical address and their email address; real names would also be used on the website in conjunction with the comment. If a website fails to comply with these requirements, they will face stiff penalties in the form of fines ranging from $500 - $1000.
