  4. Long History of Constitutional Protections for Reader PrivacyUnited States v. Rumley (1953) “Once the government can demand of a publisher the names of the purchasers of his publications . . . [f]ear of criticism goes with every person into the bookstall . . . [and] inquiry will be discouraged.”Amazon v. Lay (W.D. WA 2010) "The First Amendment protects a buyer from having the expressive content of her purchase of books, music, and audiovisual materials disclosed to the government. Citizens are entitled to receive information and ideas through books, films, and other expressive materials anonymously. …The fear of government tracking and censoring one's reading, listening, and viewing choices chills the exercise of First Amendment rights."
