Global Nature of Internet Raises Questions About Canadian Judge's Reach Wired has an article about questions arising from a gag order issued by the Canadian judge overseeing the trial of Robert Pickton, a pig farmer accused of murdering 15 prostitutes in the Vancouver area. The judge ordered journalists attending the trial not to disclose details of the proceedings, for fear of tainting the potential jury pool. The only problem: while Canadian journalists are complying with the ban, editors of The Seattle Times have not agreed to refrain from publishing information about the case on the newspaper's website, which is accessible to Canadians, and thus to potential jurors.
