I HATE when news articles DON’T link us to said story/site. So much time is wasting having to google sites we are going to find anyways. THANK YOU Duncan

I was going to say great point but then I went into Google News and searched. The New York Times and SF Chronicle have now covered it along with the AP. I guess we just have to expect the mainstream press to be a day behind on a story like this. Amazingly the NYTimes went one step further then Duncan and linked to the foreign sites as well: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02.....ei=5087%0A

@Toby : Your real name is Kunta Kinte … remember?

This is a HUGE story but unfortunately it’s not being treated as such by the mainstream media.

Thank baby Jesus that we have so many independent news outlets these days that don’t bow to the almighty dollar.

Let’s try not to link morals and the law, n’er the twixt shall meet.

And while we’re on this, how moral is it to summarily judge againt those who are not there to defend themselves? Didn’t this judge just ignore the law? Or did the Justice Dept. tell him this was ok because they think it’s a good idea? In this “we make up the law as we go” current air the Administration in Washington has fostered…..who really can respect the court system? Remember, respect is earned, not mandated.

This all stinks to me of nervous officials afraid of the light, my guess, far too many Californians are involved in this for Judge White to risk the light of day on this matter.

In fact isn’t Arrington THE law in the blogosphere. Try crossing him or his friends and see how he manages to turn everyone against you. Just ask Fred Wilson.

Will you guys remove the link to Wikileaks if a court order comes in?

(not trying to be confrontational, just wondering how you’d handle it)

Foolish not to respect the *power* of a court, or the ideal office it represents, respectable is as respectable does, or rules in this case. Our courts have gone crazybad of late and it is our duty to oppose crap rulings. I am posting and sending these links far and wide. THANK YOU.

These things have been virtual public record for over FOUR YEARS and NOW some vindictive lunatics have convinced a fascist-in-robes to put the horse, now a hred of horses, back into the barn? Absurd. And Immoral.

The Pirate Bay is in no way comparable to Rosa Parks.

Get off the high horse.

The standard model for moral development that I’ve seen (though I’m no expert) is Kohlberg’s six stages of moral development. At stage four, people learn to justify actions based on the laws and norms of their society. OTOH, at stage six, they examine universal moral principles. If these supercede laws, they can participate in civil disobedience.

While the stakes may be smaller here, when Rosa parks sat in the front of a bus, she was operating at a higher moral level than the sort of people who would say, “unless you want to live in another country, you need to learn a little respect.”

The people who believed in principles, like Thomas Jefferson, built this country and I’m proud to be here and to stay. My disrespect for people who think that blindly following rules trumps ethics makes me more American, not less.

The Bank had its private detectives following the guy that leaked all this stuff around.

Sadly though this isn’t a movie and you will see the extent of power that some of these financial institutions focused on the uber rich have. if you’ve ever gone to Switzerland and visited any of their offices you will find that they have a sort of eerie prestige …

PirateBay + WikiLeaks = fighting the good fight.
