Where is "Wikileaks"? Does it exist as a physical address? Or mirrored across the web?

It's like trying to remove pee from a pool.

I have no idea who you are but anyone taking on Co$ gets a +1 in my book.

All over the shop. It's hosted by the guys who run Pirate Bay, so that should give you a good idea of how hard it will be to take down.

But um, is wikileaks farked now or a victim of DOS attacks? Or are we doing Co$'s job for them by farking the sites?

Here we go again. When companies are faced with embarrassing documents posted to the web, they have two choices:

1. Ignore documents. Nobody probably knows or cares anyway.

or

2. Send in the lawyers, demand takedowns, make a whole lot of noise, and essentially, attract 1000x the amount of attention to said documents than they would have otherwise received, guaranteeing that they will be instantly and perminently read/mirrored around the world.

Why do companies always choose #2? They can look at history and see that it always plays out the way I described it, yet they always choose #2.

If Co$ wants to claim these docs as internal proprietary docs then they can become a private company but in turn lose their tax free status.

You want to avoid your civic duty by paying taxes? The secrecy: not yours.

Great analogy. I used to work as a lifeguard during the summer, and we often (I mean weekly) had to close the pool for kids who created "biohazards" in the pool. It sucked to physically extract the poo, but urine was the best. All we had to do was superchlorinate, then wait 4 hours to reopen. That's 4 hours of non-work on the clock. Sweet.

/Wow, that was totally unrelated.
//Sorry.

 
Maddogjew [TotalFark] 2008-04-14 10:04:51 PM  
Hmmm, there seems to be an ongoing attack on wikileaks servers. They are down at the moment. I'm sure it is just a coincidence. Scientologists would never take an action that was against the law... Would they? I wonder if anyone could return the favor?

I'm sure Tom Cruise will take care of this. First Ritalin, next Wikileaks!

Go Wikileaks!


I hope one of the Wiki employees randomly ends up screwed up a la "Operation Freakout."

I am waiting for some serious scandals to bust this cash cow up.
I would happily take any of the money that these morans are wasting on science fiction novels.

The above comment probably makes me a suppressive person, but I bet you would be too if you researched what goes in in SeaOrg and their other organizations like Narconon.

I like watching the scientologists try to lawyer up the internet. It's rather amusing.

"Wikileaks will not comply with legally abusive requests from Scientology any more than Wikileaks has complied with similar demands from Swiss banks, Russian off-shore stem cell centers, former African Kleptocrats, or the Pentagon. Wikileaks will remain a place where people of the world may safely expose injustice and corruption," stated Wikileaks in a release on its website.
