Microsoft Gets Cryptome.org shut down
|
Microsoft used the DCMA to shut down Cryptome after a company document detailing what information it can provide on its products' users to government agencies seeking to investigate and/or spy on them was posted on the site. Wired article here.

Probably. I'm almost more interested in seeing if Microsoft now attacks Wired, given that Wired is now hosting the disputed document.

Cryptome is back up, I think spotted a link at the end of the article. The shutdown was the ISP covering its ass.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll 
From what I have read, Microsoft sent the DMCA asking for the document to be removed. I don't think that their lawyers would be stupid enough to think they could shut down the entire site.
So an ISP overreacting is something I'll believe. -Terry ----- "so listen up boy, or pornography starring your mother will be the second worst thing to happen to you today" TF2: Spy |
