  • Probably not. An address is public record, so it is not the kind of personal information that would give rise to a claim of identity theft or anything. There is a law in CA that provides for criminal liability for distributors of mailing lists who provide names with addresses of minors under the age of 16; however, a quick browse through the MA statutes does not turn up a similar law in MA, and, in any event, this is a blog, not a mailing list, and your address alone, without your REAL name, would be insufficient even if you were under 16 AND the blog could be classified as a mailing list.
    So no, this is unlikely to be illegal. You could contact an attorney in MA, or maybe the cops in MA to find out for sure.
