RonMcMahon writes "Lawyers for the city of New York have subpoenaed the text message records of thousands of people involved in demonstrations at the 2004 Republican National Convention.
Tad Hirsch, creator of the TXTmob code that enabled convention demonstrators to transmit messages to thousands of telephones, has been instructed to release the content of messages exchanged on the service and to identify people who sent and received messages.
Hirsch argues that release of such information would be a violation of users' First Amendment and privacy rights.
'I think I have a moral responsibility to the people who use my service to protect their privacy,' said Hirsch."
