“The right to speak anonymously draws its strength from two separate constitutional wellsprings:  the First Amendment's freedom of speech and the right of privacy in article I, section 1 of the California Constitution.”  (Rancho Publications v. Superior Court, supra, 68 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1540–1541.)   The California Constitution provides that all people have a right of privacy.   (Cal. Const., art.   I, § 1.) This express right is broader than the implied federal right to privacy.  (American Academy of Pediatrics v. Lungren (1997) 16 Cal.4th 307, 326.)   The California privacy right “protects the speech and privacy rights of individuals who wish to promulgate their information and ideas in a public forum while keeping their identities secret,” and “limits what courts can compel through civil discovery.”  (Rancho Publications v. Superior Court, supra, 68 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1547–1548.) Grooveshark.
