TECH CRUCNH -- May 20 -- Craigslist is suing South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, seeking declaratory relief as well as a restraining order with respect to criminal charges he has threatened against the company and its executives. The company is raising the gloves because it refuses to shut down its operations in South Carolina, claiming it’s in full compliance with all applicable laws and has already done enough by removing its ‘erotic services’ category.

I know a good judge have decide what is "declaratory relief" and It is the latest escalation in a growing war of words between the classified advert website and its detractors, who claim it aids prostitution and encourages illegal activity by allowing people to freely post advertisements online. According to Buckmaster, the lawsuit is an attempt to gain what is called "declaratory relief" - an attempt to get a judge to decide whether one set of rights unfairly infringes upon another. The system is often used to resolve legal issues before they escalate further - and in this case, he said, the threat of criminal investigation conflicts with the right to free speech.I think this is good written by author.
