Legal Issues

Less than four months after publishing its first edition, the Santa Barbara Daily Sound received a letter from David Millstein, a San Francisco-based lawyer for the Santa Barbara News-Press, claiming that the Daily Sound's banner looked too much like the News-Press' [ [http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/toc/2006/toc200610 Vanity Fair] ] and that it had to be changed. Gordon said that not only did the News-Press attorney demand a change in the look of the Daily Sound banner, but asked that it consider a name change, perhaps to the Los Angeles Daily Sound.

In late June and early July 2007, Santa Barbara County Public Defender Karen Atkins issues three subpoenas to Daily Sound employees, [ [http://www.thedailysound.com/2007/07/defender-subpoenas-publisher.html Santa Barbara Daily Sound] ] including Editor and Publisher Jeramy Gordon, demanding they turn over all photographs in the paper's possession depicting a March 14, 2007 gang melee that left a 15-year-old dead and 14-year-old charged with his murder. The Daily Sound refused to hand over the photos citing the First Amendment and California's Shield Law, [ [http://www.thedailysound.com/2007/07/column-why-not-just-hand-over-photos.html Santa Barbara Daily Sound] ] but eventually gave in amid growing legal costs and possible fines that would likely shut down the paper.
