News: Murderer Requests Wikipedia Anonymity

From EFF: Lawyers Stopp and Stopp have sent a 'cease and desist' letter to the German and English language versions of Wikipedia requesting that the page about German actor Walter Sedlmayr, remove all mention of their client's murdering him.

Under German law, as 15 years have elapsed, he has returned to having the status of any other private citizen and, it is argued, is entitled to anonymity in order to facilitate 'reintegration into society'.
