In a hearing today in Federal Court, the Honorable White dissolved his prior Injunction. EFF has a complete breakdown of the case. You may remember our original post.
If for some reason you had your head in the sand or were serving some needy people in a third-world country and didn’t know that United States District Judge Jeffrey S. White eliminated the First Amendment with the stroke of a digital pen, you should be relieved to hear that WikiLeaks.org is getting some major support for their cause.
WikiLeaks.org was taken off line by the Order of Judge Jeffrey S. White. What I find most disturbing is the fact that Judge Jeffrey S. White didn’t even have to think about it. The Order came as the result of a signed Stipulation to the Temporary Restraining Order. I know what you’re thinking, but wait, the Stipulation wasn’t signed by WikiLeaks it was signed by their host and domain registrar Dynadot, LLC. The tactic used by plaintiffs in this matter was to go not after WikiLeaks, but rather hit the small hosting company and see if they will cave in. Well they did! I say, “Tsk, Tsk,” to Dynadot. Let’s make sure we DO NOT USE THEM for anything!!!
According to “Cave-in”dot’s website (I won’t link because I am DOFOLLOW) they claim to be a debt-free privately held company with no intention of going public or selling out to some “faceless” corporation. They’re right, they don’t sell-out because a “sell-out” infers a sale, and for a sale they would presumably get money. No, no, they wouldn’t do that…they just give up and salute the white flag.
