 Thank you so much to the California First Amendment Coalition and to the California Society of Newspaper Editors for Honoring me with the Bill Farr Award. That really means a lot. I'm very sorry. I'm not able to accept this award in person I'm up in Oregon. Unfortunately doing my day job trying to get more government data Available on the internet the particular issue that we are dealing with in Oregon is the assertion of copyright Over primary legal materials published by the government in this case We're talking about the Oregon Attorney General's public meeting manual In which copyright assertions and takedown notices have been sent So I'm in Oregon giving a lecture at the Lewis and Clark Law School about this topic at the University of Oregon about this topic And the Attorney General Kroger has kindly agreed to meet with me privately to discuss this issue So I hope you will again accept my apologies. I am particularly touched That this award is named after Bill Farr. Bill Farr as you all know in 1972 went to jail for 46 days for refusing to divulge his sources He did that not knowing how long he would be in jail There was a judge after him for a couple years And he thought he might be in there for a very long time And it was only the personal intervention of Justice William O. Douglas that got him sprung And so it is really touching to receive an award named after Bill Farr and again Thank you very much to the First Amendment Coalition Which has been very helpful to me in the past and the California Society of Newspaper Editors for this honor
