My biggest issue is that they go after four people who haven't (at least in this case) breached copyright and sue them for hundred+ of millions of SEK instead of the tens of million of people who actually do. Just because it's more convenient to go after these guys than more or less everyone.
Though they will go after, spy on and limit the freedom of everyone else to. Because that's the brand new world!
But if anyone asked me to I'd offer my bandwidth and electricity to host an anonymous platform for them to spread the information they want spread, and so would probably many others to.
He could just had put it on TPB as a few GBs PDF-torrent to.
You can change it to "American workers pay too little for their products and demand too much" instead of you want to. Just buy less for more and make it American made and you're without any issues with China.
The problem is just whatever our government is stupid enough to let US decide what will happen.
Earlier I would had supposed no, but considering all their misstakes in recent times I don't know what to believe: * TPB raid * FRA law * IPRED * Since the terrorist attack in Stockholm less than a week ago they are considering letting the police use FRA for intelligence and "looking for terrorists." * 200 terrorists within the country, who's labeled them? US? * US allied even beneath parliament level so neither the parliament or people would complain. * Assange mess * Asked the US to send people from the Afghanistan government to speak for Swedes about all the amazing stuff we do for their citizens. * Asked by the US to but preassure on Iran (or something such.) * WTF are we doing in Afghanistan in the first place?
Not weird they called Carl Bildt a medium sized dog, whatever that's supposed to mean. Clearly there's a lot of ass licking going on on Swedens part.
I guess one somewhat risky approach would be to just remove any assets from the bank, if you're affraid of inflation or government screwups exchange it for gold or silver (because if the dollar fails I guess even more people will want to have gold or silver so..)
On the other side I think people have already bought way to much gold, but whatever, what's the alternative? AOL CDs?
I think I've read how more than 50% of what you pay for an item is rates somewhere along the line of companies, assets, salaries, loans to start production,..:D
Since all the banks of Irland in need of help was considered "for sale" as far as some government guy saw things I suppose we could had donated enough money to Wikileaks for them to afford to actually purchase the whole damn thing.
The question is whatever other banks would do business with them:)
I'd definitly trade my Visacard for a Wikileaks card;) Remove the evil fees (especially debt card) against the stores at the same time.
I'd probably go as far as give me a small encryption/"darknet"/NAS/VPN/tunnel/... device and I can probably host it free of charge in my home if they want to:), just try to keep energy requirements low.
I don't know anything of any harddrive story. But I assume the people over at Wikileaks are capable of copying data, so they could probably had returned the drive or brought their own if that was the case.
I don't know what the punishment for harddrive theaft is in the US either.
If Federal regulators even SUSPECT you have been allowing terrorists to receive payment
Sorry to spoil it for you but that would include every single American tax payer.
I know I will eventually get moderated down to the middle of the world for saying so. But I put no label on the tax payers as such or claim that the American government would be anything special in this regard. Just stating the facts. Or isn't it terrorism just because the government are in charge?
What else than terrorism can you call the first helicopter attack video Wikileaks leaked?
Though I have no idea who the photographers where, or if the people in the helicopter know them, or why they shoot in the first place.
Oxford American dictionaries: "terrorism |?ter??riz?m| noun the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims."
Also I guess one of the reasons they themselves may not consider themselves very much of an ally with north Korea may be that 1) they doesn't benefit China much 2) China probably want all trades with China to be as easy and active as possible at all times.
I wanted to reply to this yesterday before I went to bed but Opera 10.x on OS X 10.4 hack fucked up as it does all the freaking time so I couldn't. Anyhow:
You could destroy most of the ruling class and infrastructure with a single nuke to the NK capital. The rest of the country is practically pre-industrial, judging from the nighttime illuminant maps and google Earth flyovers.
May be true, but when I read about it I thought about nuking/bombing their nuclear launch sites / whatever military equipment they have.
But to that I wanted to add: They've got subs. 97 according to globalfirepower (2008.)
I don't know if any of those are nuclear. But it may be an issue..:D
I've already suggested the Piratpartiet/Freedom of speech/Wikileaks demonstration not on Sergels torg but instead in kammaren of riksdagshuset since there's normally not much people around anyway.. Doubt they would get in there, even with pitchforks, but it would had been sweet;)
China and Saudi Arabia and the US and North Korea and South Korea and Liechtenstein and Mexico and Canada and Australia and Britian and France and New Zealand and Japan and Russia and Sweden and Finland and Greenland and all other UN member states, yes.
Actually? No.
Zero policing is what I want.
Child porn, Islamic terrorists, Joe not-so-much-of-an-sex-pack? Sure.
Slashdot Mirror
DDoS attacks at sites working against WikiLeaks rather strengthen human rights.
Slightly off topic though. (And no, I didn't RTFA.)

The bank transfers don't work for you either?
But if anyone asked me to I'd offer my bandwidth and electricity to host an anonymous platform for them to spread the information they want spread, and so would probably many others to.
He could just had put it on TPB as a few GBs PDF-torrent to.
Then what?
Yeah, because people are more scared of New York Times than they are of WikiLeaks ;D
Netcraft will (ok ok... might? could had? probably not? ;D) confirm it:
Soon Youtube over 3G is dead thanks to global Internet censorship.
Hurray for pirate airwave-TV ;)

You don't have to buy from China if you don't want to.
You could buy American made products, though that may cost American tax payers even more. But sure, will also benefit Americans more at other places.
Hardly a bandit though.
Capitalism is only good as long as the US is _GOD_ of capitalism? =P
Reminds me of that guy (news? tv? monorail?) guy in Simpsons:
"But journalism is a kind of terrorism?!" ;)
I doubt the charges would stick anyway.

Why put us to shame with all this filth?
Best refugee ever, why do we let so many others in but scare Assange away?

Maybe not so easy if you're a loan slave.
I think I've read how more than 50% of what you pay for an item is rates somewhere along the line of companies, assets, salaries, loans to start production, .. :D
So banks probably decide quite a bit in the end.

And isn't this the greatest slashvertisment ever?
I mean, it doesn't even provide anything, except Playstation branding/ad/..
I think they indeed would _KNOW_, actually.

Thankfully they have put down all new paving stone in the city area.
And there will probably be ways around it. The question is why it takes so fucking long for everyone to start using them?
I doubt the average Swede got what it takes to do anything though...
Though some people have proven that they can react:

The government has to be reminded who's in charge every now and then ..
I are a Brazilian, and I say NO to this.
They are Americans.
And weeks ago Chinese Internet (and whatever else) censorship was bad.
Now? It's fucking brilliant! Finally a way to make people obey the government and hide anything bad!
Guess the US and Chinese (and everyone else) government isn't that different after all.
You're allowed to say anything you want as long as it's what they want you to say :)
China and Saudi Arabia and the US and North Korea and South Korea and Liechtenstein and Mexico and Canada and Australia and Britian and France and New Zealand and Japan and Russia and Sweden and Finland and Greenland and all other UN member states, yes.
Actually? No.

Child porn, Islamic terrorists, Joe not-so-much-of-an-sex-pack? Sure.
I can decide where I spend my time myself.
