Court Order Served Over Twitter/Facebook

My British Computing Society magazine arrived today and I was impressed to read an article about the basic process of serving court papers (but with a twist!).

"Twitter jacking" a persons identity is quite common, and normally the process would be to apply to the Courts for an order for Twitter (or facebook, etc.) to release the persons details.

Instead, the High Court has actually given permission for the injunction to be served directly to the copyright infringer over Twitter using Direct Messaging!

It's perhaps not the most up to date story, but it does open a fantastic new debate!
