[2]FN3. The First Amendment argument in EFF's amicus brief is based largely on its assertion that Neidorf "did not participate in or know of the theft [of the E911 file] in advance."

[3]FN4. The court notes that as with its First Amendment argument, EFF's vagueness argument is based largely on the notion that Neidorf was an innocent recipient of the stolen E911 file. As the court has already pointed out, that notion is contradicted by the express allegations in the superseding indictment. Those allegations charge that when Neidorf received the E911 file, he was completely aware of the fact that it had been stolen.
