Apparently POGO, the ACLU and EFF (among others) are stepping up in protest of the recent court order against wikileaks, which apparently says something like (I haven’t read it, so don’t give me notice of it please)
The judge also issued a temporary restraining order that forbade Wikileaks from displaying, posting, publishing or distributing any material pertaining to the bank on any site that it directly owned or over which it had any control. The order instructed Wikileaks to ensure that all of the bank’s information was removed from all Web sites it owned or controlled, to disable links to the material on such sites and to provide the court with proof that it had complied with the orders. The judge’s order even enjoined everyone who read the order or received notice of it from publishing or even linking to the documents.
I’ve read that the owners of The Pirate Bay are among those who mirror the wikileaks site, though I haven’t verified that.
I can just imagine the kind of legal threats and replies that might go on there… (hint- if you are squemish about reading four letter words, DON’T read The Pirate Bay’s replies to legal threats.)
