I know we’ve all been caught up in the “fight drama” lately, but I believe we might’ve missed a real fight which broke earlier this week pitting internet Giant Google against Utah legislation.

The world’s largest Internet search engine says a new state law that curbs keyword-triggered advertising is unconstitutional and probably will be challenged in court. And although the company didn’t promise to be the plaintiff, its spokesman pledged to work with other Internet companies to “educate officials in Utah about the numerous consequences” of the legislation. – The Salt Lake Tribune

I don’t see this going to court, more than likely being found unconstitutional, but it makes for good reading.

The Utah Legislature has earned a name for itself trying to police the electronic frontier, and it isn’t that of Gunsmoke’s Sheriff Matt Dillon, but his often incoherent deputy, Festus. – Scripps News
