Indymedia Servers Given Back

Posted by samzenpus on from the now-play-nice dept.

NW writes "According to a post on Indymedia Argentina the two Indymedia servers seized earlier by the FBI are in the process of being returned: "A Rackspace employee stated, "I was just told that the court order is being complied with and your servers in London will be online at 5pm GMT. I will pass along anymore information that becomes available and that I am allowed to." It has been verified that the returned hard-drives are the originals, but the circumstances of the seizure still remain unclear: who took them, why were they taken, and under which court order? Indymedia is not aware as to whether Rackspace is still under gag order. The hard-drives will be treated as "hacked" (compromised) and as a result there will be delays in restoring the sites that are still down."" Here's our previous coverage on this.

    This never would have happened if Florida hadn't handed the election to Bush.

      Mod parent up! The site gives a pretty good insight why the 'freedom of speech' argument shouldn't apply.

      Namely, that Indy Media has used freedom of speech as an excuse for hate-speech.

    "... London will be online at 5pm GMT..."

    Let's be picky... if you look up the definition of the second in the GMT time scale, you will see that it is astronomical based. But the definition of the SI second is derived off an atomic time scale and has been for, what, 30 some years. So report the time on the prime meridian as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) because it is the basis for civil time world-wide. And last I looked, London is on the planet Earth.

    Yeah, I know... GMT is used interchangably to mean UTC by the layman. But when the rubber meets the road, it is UTC we are talking about especially in sub-second accuracy.
