I lost HUNDREDS of pictures documenting various grows on overgrow. Sure, i still have some pictures that I saved, but overgrow held 90% of the ones I didn't save. I would pay hella cash to get them back! I cant even imagine how many gigs it would have taken to back up OG.. Probably multiple terabytes... -Helge

Erowid doesn't do any trading, or any illegal activity, at all. They just provide knowledge. That's not illegal, yet.

I seriously doubt it. There would be one hell of a court case(s) if it ever happened. I'm pretty sure those guys have a team of lawyers and even the ACLU on their side.
The day Erowid gets shut down is the day I buy an AK-47 and go postal on any law enforcement/government agent I spot.

There was more to OG than just the information, from what i read, the guy was also running a seed company...

Yeah, I'm glad the guy wants to help reform laws. OG was AWESOME and by losing it a lot of info was lost and I feel bad about that.
I hope they go easy on him.

The good thing about erowid, unlike an entire community in message board form, is that it can easily be mirrored and hosted from another location, or another country... probably with a reasonably up to date version.
I doubt it has been shut down anyway. The best thing you can do to lose your freedom of speech is sell shit related to the "speech" you're hosting. The gov. is pretty powerless (don't know about Canada) otherwise, but they leap at this opportunity.
One example was a site called isonews.com. It is shit now, but it used to be a major message board detailing the releases of all stolen software on the net, etc. Sega threatened them, they laughed. Other companies of course bitched too. But all they hosted was text nfo files. No serials/keygens/apps, just talk.
Then one day, the first no-swap ps2 modchip came out. It was a piece of crap, called the Neo4. Nevertheless, isonews founder 'krazy8' decided to sell off a few, as they were semi rare, etc. He got raided, while there were dozens of MUCH bigger mod sellers in the US. He only sold a few, but it was the information they were after. He turned the server and domain over as part of his agreement, and you got a nice picture of ashcroft's face whenever you visited the site.
