My lede:

A federal court in April upheld a 2007 Vermont law that lets physicians choose whether to allow their prescribing data to be sold for use in pharmaceutical marketing.

The decision came on the heels of a November 2008 court ruling that upheld New Hampshire’s ban on selling prescribers’ information for commercial uses. This reversed a district court ruling that the ban violated First Amendment protections for commercial speech.

The whole shebang.
