But that right does not extend to defamatory speech. Lawyers across the country are more aggressively using a combination of legal maneuvers and computer forensics to help uncover the identities of anonymous commentators and sue them.

And some of those cases are producing astronomical awards. This year, an Anaheim, Calif., technology company won a $1.6?million judgment against a blogger who had accused the company of stealing money from business associates. And in 2006, a Florida woman won a $11.3?million judgment after a Louisiana woman called her a “crook” and a “con artist” in an Internet forum.
