An anonymous writer from The Register writes to say that Andrew Orlowski was not the pseudonymous author of an article that attacked the Electronic Frontier Foundation by erroneously alleging that EFF loses the bulk of its cases. Though my source at The Register declined to identify the anonymous author, my source did say that he had been writing for The Register for quite some time, as can be seen by this search for his byline.
I previously wrote an article describing Orlowski's unwillingness to correct himself when he has taken pot-shots at people and organizations he holds in low regard (for example, taking three months to acknowledge that a tipster had forged an email from Robert Scoble), in which I cited the EFF-attacking article as an example of this. However, according to the source at The Register, the person who made the factually incorrect statements in that particular article was a different regular contributor to The Register.
There's no indication of whether The Register will correct the inaccuracies in its piece on Electronic Frontier Foundation.
