Supp. 2d 619 (D.N.J. 2007)] - 4chan is mentioned in passing as the venue of this truck bomb threat posted by a 4chan user, but no further information in the court opinion is provided other than general information about the internet. It is possible that the user posted it as a hoax in reference to an infamous 2006 Fox News special report on hackers and 4chan, depicting a truck exploding for no reason. Further information may exist in court documents.

* '''USENET''' - One of the first major non-government online networks in the US, USENET has a massive presence in US judicial precedent in establishing guidelines for online litigation. Given that much of USENET is lost (other than some scattered archives at Google Groups) and its scale and influence may not have even been fully understood by users, many of whom still live online today, the detailed descriptions of it provided by primary sources subpeonaed by litigation are immensely important: especially given that a court case eventually dealt USENET the death blow in its reduced role as a centralized warez network.
