"A South Korean court acquitted a blogger on Monday of spreading false information, in a case that triggered debate about freedom of speech in cyberspace and critics said was only launched because his economic doom postings angered authorities.

Defendant Park Dae-sung, who went by the pseudonym ‘Minerva’ after the Greek goddess of wisdom became a household name last year for his predictions of sharp falls in the won [Korean currency] and the local stock market and the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers.”
