State of Massachusetts Tells Man He May Be Jailed for Releasing Data...Given to Him by the State

-- Boston.com, the web site of the Boston Globe, reported on November 11, 2010:

"Governor Deval Patrick's administration told a local website operator he could face jail time for publishing information that the state provided under an open-records request.

It is unclear whether officials would or could follow through with the threat to Michael Morisy, cofounder of MuckRock (muckrock.com), a website devoted to open records. But the unusual letter, also published on the website, has forced him to consult with an attorney."
