RELEASED: Italian & U.S. govt documents on seizure of Indymedia server in London last October.

category international | arts and media | news report author Wednesday August 03, 2005 17:05author by Barry Finnegan - personal capacityauthor email john.finnegan at mail dot dcu dot ie Report this post to the editors

Remember the confusion and shut-downs last October? Well some light has been shed courtesy of EFF

Last October all people knew was that the FBI had physically seized an Indymedia server from a company called Rackspace in London. About 20 Indymedias were affected, some more than others. Rackspace said they had a gagging order placed on them. UK and US security forces refused to comment.

On August 1st this year, thanks to a court case they took in a federal court in Texas, the US-based Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) received newly unsealed documents relating to the seizures. Despite this, some serious questions remain. No mention of a gagging order for example.

For the rest of the story, the outstanding question and the documents themselves go to San Fransisco Indymedia at: http://www.indybay.org/news/2005/08/1757335.php

Maybe people involved with the teck-end (and related publicity) of getting the sites back up last October would like to comment here and say whether any of these documents have any real usefulness. [Have to confess I didn't read them in detail - so this post is more of a low-on-details-newsflash than news-analysis.]

A fairly good analysis (without the need to read all the documents!) is provided by The Register at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/03/indymedia_texas_docs_unsealed/
