Here is what his press release of Jan 4 said. “There is no reasonable dispute that Dr. Ayyadurai is the inventor of email. The full press kit contains more than 20 testimonials from leading technology experts and numerous Ph.D.s. The press kit also includes
two extensive research papers prepared by well-respected academic university professors and scientists explaining why Dr. Ayyadurai is the inventor of email, and how the few doubters are wrong.” The next sentence announces the lawsuit against Techdirt.

in court. If Ayyadurai’s legal campaign succeeds then what would happen to books like Abbate? Will anyone who uses Abbate’s work in the classroom run the risk of a multimillion dollar lawsuit? Ayyadurai has also shown himself willing to exploit open records
laws to obtain my university emails, perhaps in a hunt for discrediting or actionable materials.<span class="m_3213409243712819315Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.tomandmaria.com_Tom_emailgrab&d=DwMFaQ&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=BM0VlL6M9YOYuQiIBopsWA&m=4cwWCDpBnWaKHuMF0UgEaaz3mxYabQa7bDXFiqMGlYY&s=Wi4sM8AmGU0qA7IXZpmSNaKLT3Ax8YeXXxwqUHE0ANY&e=" style="color:purple;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr>tomandmaria.com/Tom/emailgrab</a>.

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">A few weeks ago Christopher Leslie asked whether this case is really so important to us, versus say defending net neutrality from the Trump administration. I would argue that it is, because
the challenge that the post-fact world poses to academic freedom (and to so much else) is something that we are all called to fight in our own little corners of the world. Netflix and other tech firms will fight for net neutrality, but who will fight for history?
If the SIGCIS community doesn’t stand up for the integrity of the historical record, against such a concerted campaign to undermine it, then who will?<u></u><u></u></span></div>
