Controversy

In April 2008 Eclipse obtained a court order in California ordering Google to provide the IP addresses of 29 anonymous contributors to the Eclipse Aviation Critic NG blog, which is hosted on Google's Blogger service. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. Google Inc is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online An Internet Protocol ( IP) address is a numerical identification ( Logical address) that is assigned to devices participating in a Computer network A blog (a contraction of the term " Web log " is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary descriptions of Blogger is a Blog publishing system. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003 [1][2]

The blog, run by Shane Price of Dublin, Ireland is a forum for those who are critical of the company and its treatment of employees, customers and suppliers. Dublin (ˈdʌblɨn/ /ˈdʊblɨn or /ˈdʊbəlɪn/, bˠalʲə aːha klʲiəh or cliə(ɸ is both the largest city and capital of Ireland. Ireland (pronounced /ˈaɾlənd/ Éire) is the third largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world Eclipse CEO Vern Raburn says that the pursuit of blog contributors is not to suppress criticism, stating: "We're not trying to suppress dissension or criticism. We're just trying to find out where it's coming from. " Raburn has stated that since Eclipse employees and suppliers are bound by non-disclosure agreements he wants to ensure that these are not being broken. A non-disclosure agreement (NDA also known as a confidentiality agreement, confidential disclosure agreement (CDA proprietary information agreement [1][2]

Price has indicated that some of the identities named in the court subpoena have not posted on the blog and that these may have come from a previous blog that was critical of Eclipse, but was shut down. A subpoena (səˈpiːnə is commonly defined as a written command to a person to Testify before a Court or be punished The subpoena is being opposed by several people in court on the basis that since they have no connection to the company the disclosure of their identities violates their First Amendment rights. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress [1][2]

One contributor to the blog, Rich Lucibella, told CharterX Industry Headline News that he found Eclipse's actions "outrageous. " Lucibella said:

"What Eclipse is attempting to do is just wrong, they want to take advantage of people's rights; I can't stand by and let them do that. . . Eclipse doesn't have the right to access other people's private information. For example, if three bloggers are or were employed by Eclipse but others aren't, then the rest of the people's privacy rights are violated under the First Amendment. Eclipse hasn't appeared to invoke the rule of reason. "[2]

Lucibella has retained attorney Norman Malinski, and has filed a motion in the Superior Court of California to prevent Google from releasing contributor's private information. The Superior Courts of California are the Superior courts in the U [2][3]

Eclipse CEO Vern Raburn was contacted several times by CharterX Industry Headline News for comment on this issue, but he refused to answer any questions. [2]
