Internet Access to Court Records -- Update

A few days ago, I mentioned a law journal article by Natalie M. Gomez-Velez, Internet Access to Court Records - Balancing Public Access and Privacy, Loyola Law Review, Vol. 51, p. 365, 2005,
Here is a blog article (thanks to the Virtual Chase) discussing one court's redaction of sensitive information.

 According to the article, the Superior Court, District of Columbia, has started removing dates of birth from its criminal index system. The article is on pibuzz.com, the "'Official' Blog of PI Magazine." According to PIBuzz, "the unfounded concern for identity theft is cited by other courts as the basis for truncating or removing the date of birth information from public records."


I am not sure I agree with PIBuzz's characterization of the concern for identity theft as "unfounded," but I will be interested to see if other courts follow suit.
