Fighting the Power

I just want to send some quick props to Room 8 who slapped away some city attack dogs trying to nip at their Free Speech rights. From Gowanus Lounge:

The founders of Room 8 were recently the recipients of grand jury subpoenas ordering them to turn over the identity of some people leaving comment on their blog and ordering them not to disclose or post about the subpoena. They got a lawyer, threatened to sue the Bronx DA and the subpoenas were dropped.

That'll learn 'em. No, probably not.
