As a result, New Jersey and several other states give greater privacy rights to computer users than most federal courts, and law enforcement officers in New Jersey need to obtain valid subpoenas or search warrants to obtain the information.
The court ruled that a computer user whose screen name hid her identity has a "legitimate and substantial" interest in anonymity.
