Don't shoot the Paperboy.

In an article on The Baltimore Sun's Web site, I found an interesting case. Joel L. Levin is saying he cannot get The Examiner to stop throwing unwanted papers in his driveway each morning. The Baltimore lawyer has asked the County Circuit Court for a temporary restraining order to force an end to the deliveries.

"They're trespassing, technically," said Joel L. Levin, referring to the carriers who deliver the papers in his Pikesville neighborhood. Almost a month ago, he said, he began calling the paper's circulation department to have them stopped, but they keep coming.

This story was surprising to me at first. Then, I found myself wondering why the same issue hasn't presented itself before. I wonder if, in the end the theory of "trespassing" truly will be able to apply in this situation. Still,with the barrage of unwanted literature constantly presented to us, it was only time before someone painted the paperboy as an unwanted solicitor.
