Breaking news...WikiLeaks disappeared from Interwebz according to AP:
NEW YORK – The website of WikiLeaks, the organization that just released a trove of sensitive U.S. State Department documents, appears to have lost or left its main Web host, Amazon.com.
The main website and a sub-site devoted to the diplomatic documents were unavailable from the U.S. and Europe on Wednesday, as Amazon servers refused to acknowledge requests for data.
Availability of the sites has been spotty since Sunday, when it started to come under a series of Internet-based attacks by unknown hackers. WikiLeaks dealt with the attacks in part by moving to servers run by Amazon Web Services, which is self-service.
Amazon.com Inc. would not comment on its relationship with WikiLeaks or whether it forced the site to leave. Messages seeking comment from WikiLeaks were not immediately returned."

"White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday that Mr. Assange's statements "are both ridiculous and absurd." Mrs. Clinton, he said, has done nothing wrong, and U.S. diplomats do not engage in spying. "
Gibbs said they aren’t scared of Wikileaks because it’s “only one guy with one website” and that our foreign policy is stronger than that. “Let’s not be scared of one guy with a laptop”, Gibbs added.

I'm curious how many people here have downloaded the set of currently released leaks... And if so, if it was via direct http download or via torrent.

It is a strange thing for a man to lose his job on account of not being "credibly dishonest enough".
You don't answer any damn questions and can't debate your way out of a paper bag.
Must be because government has your balls.

Be careful, cause it all depends upon jurisdiction. Look at Apple in California and the stolen/lost prototype iPhone as a good case study. Publishing trade secrets in California is a big no-no.

Their (IkiLeaks) reply...
Quote:
"WikiLeaks servers at Amazon ousted. Free speech the land of the free--fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe," the organization said Wednesday in a posting on the Twitter messaging service.
Apparently, they fail to see the difference between a private company and the federal government with respect to freedom of speech. Nowhere does the US Constitution say that a private company must grant everybody free speech.

That involved a piece of purportedly stolen hardware and a probably not very well informed judge. It was the link to the stolen hardware (and the search for evidence in that case) that got the warrant issued, not the data that was published.
What ever happened with that anyway? Were charges ever filed? If so, are they still pending or were they dropped? Have the police been sued? Considering that: - from many perspectives that raid was possibly illegal, and
- that the case hasn't hasn't resulted in any legal precedent (other than the warrant being issued possibly illegally, but what is new in that?),
the iphone raid doesn't seem to do much to back up your claim that publishing trade secrets in California is a big no-no...

Ack! This was a mis-post. I started to write it, and then did not post it because I was not sure that I was correct. My main concern was trade secret as information vs trade secret as an item. Not sure how this made it to the forum.

I answer all your questions, Al, as far as I can recall. Sometimes the same fucking one several times.
I must admit that governments have prevented me from being the despot I could have been. How are you with windows? Squeaky clean or streaky. 'Cause streaky gets you a wuppin.

Yes. They are no longer have secret documents. They are now public documents, the value of which has been destroyed through their disclosure. Not all profit is in the form of dollars.
Stealing corporate secrets is stealing. A point of law you might want to consider. Did you know you can go to jail for insider trading? It's true.
