Jerry Nelson, the puppeteer and voice of Sesame Street's Count von Count, has died aged 78. For more than 40 years, Nelson worked on numerous projects featuring Jim Henson's Muppets, including the TV series Fraggle Rock. Nelson, who suffered from emphysema, died on Thursday in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Also dead is a South Korean law requiring citizens to use their real names on websites. The law in question has been struck down by a panel of judges in the country's Constitutional Court, who said the rule restricted freedom of speech and undermined democracy, which is essential so as not to turn South Korea into North Korea. The requirement was introduced in 2007 as part of efforts to tackle cyber-bullying. But in addition to the freedom of speech and democracy arguments, the judges said that many users had switched to overseas sites so they could continue to conceal their identity, putting local services at a disadvantage. There had also been complaints that the system had made it easier for cyber-criminals to commit identity theft. To sum it up, the Constitutional Court has made the right call.
