Court Orders Shutdown of H-1B Critics' Websites

theodp writes "Computerworld reports that a NJ Superior Court Judge ordered hosting firms to shut down three Web sites that oppose the H-1B visa program and seeks information about the identity of anonymous posters. GoDaddy, Network Solutions, Comcast and DiscountASP.Net were ordered to disable ITgrunt.com, Endh1b.com, and Guestworkerfraud.com. Facebook Inc. was also ordered to disable ITgrunt's Facebook page. The judge's order was made in response to a libel lawsuit filed by Apex Technology Group Inc., which is citing its copyright ownership as it seeks the identity of the poster of a since-removed Apex employment agreement on Docstoc.com, which drew critical comments on US and India websites."

    No need to be a jerk, dude. Some of us are on company networks and don't recognize stormfront as a racist site - but our proxies do.

    Thanks dickhead.

    No need to be a jerk, dude. It's not someone else's problem if you click every hyperlink you see. I read his comment and felt no need to click.

    Maybe you should get back to work and stop reading racist websites on company time.

    So stating he has related information via a hyperlink and sending people to a hate site is a valid thing to do?

    You are a dickhead.

    Being an Anonymous Coward defeats your stand, but I'll play anyway.
    If the company pays only 15% less for a "shitty" Indian coder (SIC) as compared to a "good" American coder (GAC), isn't the company over paying, given how the parent post was talking about hiring 3-5 SICs instead of 1 GAC for the same money?
    Now why would a company hire someone who gets paid 85% of a good programmer but is only 20-35% as good?
    Smells to me like an exaggeration, or wait racism. Pick one. So either the Parent was exaggerating

    I'm probably a moron for hoping that it is humanly possible to open eyes after 60+ years of manipulation. The fact that people of a democratic nation consented to god-knows-how-many number of wars, is alone sufficient to prove that those people have been manipulated. However, since you called me a moron, let a Nobel Laureate talk to you. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Chomsky/Journalist_Mars.html http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Chomsky/MediaControl_excerpts.html
