What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maine
I want to publish a list of public court documents. Some people won't want their information published. Because of the volume of the information I won't have time to discriminate what is published. Do people have the right to demand I take the information down? This leads me to the second part of my question: Some of these people will have legitimate reasons why they don't want their information published, and I want to be fair, so I have thought of fielding requests to remove the information. There will be a great number of requests so I would have to hire more than one person to review the requests, so is it illegal to charge a fee for the processing of the request?
In summation:
If I publish public records online and someone requests that I remove their records, do I have the right to refuse and leave the information there?
May I charge a "processing" fee for these requests?
