The website Media Lens has been threatened with legal action by Times Newspapers for breach of copyright and harassment, Peter Wilby reports in the The Guardian today.

Media Lens took issue with a piece in The Times by Bronwen Maddox on 17 June arguing that she did not question the assumption that Iran is bent on producing a nuclear bomb. It invited its readers to email Maddox prompting Times Newspapers’ legal manager to write a letter saying Maddox had received “vexatious andd threatening emails” and arguing that publishing her email address was breach of copyright.
