can a newspaper use your name without permission?

Absolutely - otherwise there wouldn't be any bad news in the world. Thats the whole point of the 'news'.\n\nNow if what they're saying is a lie, you can sue them for slander.

The name can be changed in the name of the sender using codes. Just don't bother

You can't get someone else information... you can only request your own... that is unless you are on the account

Yes you can (and it would be for libel, which is printed, as compared to slander, which is spoken). It does not matter if the piece is represented as fact or opinion and it does not have to have a financial effect on the person you are talking about. It only has to damage their character and reputation and be done in a public forum (which a blog would qualify as).\n\nThere are different rules for public officials and personalities as compared to regular people.\n\nBut yes, you can be sued for what you put in a blog, just like a newspaper, magazine or radio or television station ... you are putting out information into a public forum. And be careful, because even being found not guilty of charges will cost you lots and lots of money, so don't say anything that could even lead to a suit being filed ... it's why most media outlets spend big bucks on libel insurance and lots of lawyers.

No--not unless it is a proper noun (like someone's name).

You can remain anonymous but it's out of your hands after that.  Tell the cops you are scared of him and you refuse to give your name.  If they demand it, then leave/hang up.  \n\nI found this:\nIn another case, we concluded that a stop comported with the Fourth Amendment when the police department received an anonymous tip identifying the location of a suspended driver who was operating a motor vehicle and verified the suspension, after which an officer observed the suspended driver's vehicle on a public way and stopped the vehicle.  State v. Lawton, 581 A.2d 793, 793-95 (Me. 1990).

No, of course not. They obviously have no way of keeping track whether you've included your whole name and there are no restrictions whatsoever. Pick a nickname. Call yourself the Flying Banana Fairy if you want to.\n\nI have a Livejournal and I just use my first name, not my last name (and my first name is pretty common so it's not like they can stalk me just from that). That way people still know who they're talking to and stuff.

Yes and no,\n\nTelevisioin and newspapers are not censored for content, meaning the that media can tell whatever story they want to tell. However, we do have certain decency standards implemented by the goverment, so the media cannot use swear words or show pictures of nude people. Other than that they are free to print whatever they feel like.

no, but, you need to be careful placing your name and at that your full name on the net! its not safe at all!

My guess would be that they think it may fall under copywrite infringement. You know "No part of this broadcast may be copied without written consent". They probably feel that way regarding all photos and so on.

Hopefully you can't.  That would be a serious breach of security.  What kind of paper are you writing anyway??  Maybe you should attempt to talk to someone from your school's CJ department.  They may be able to get you enough info for a paper without leaking sensitive info.

no, that is an understanding, if you (not you personally, figure of speech) feel the need to not be known, then a free service is not for you. If you mail a letter, the USPS, and everyone who sees it knows your name and address, if you make a phone call, your info is captured, every form of communications, you would have to live in a cave under a rock to not be availiable. It is one of the things we tolerate for our freedom

I believe that providing a false name to the police is an offence.\nbut if you're worried about ur safety then talk to the cops about it.
