wikileaks.org DNS censored

It's not prior restraint, because you can just memorize http://88.80.13.160/

Clever, clever judge tries an end run around prior restraint by censoring DNS, rather than content. The servers are still there, but it's pretty hard to remember http://88.80.13.160/.

This strikes me as supremely evil, not to mention unconstitutional on its face. Yes, it's a brave new world, but this is getting ugly just when I thought the US might finally be coming back from the brink. Feh.

The court's order is at http://cryptome.org/wikileaks-gag.pdf (pdf; yay, cryptome!), and the leaked Julius Baer documents -- which are, per this judge, magical and illegal (check that gag order) are at the link (.zip format) below.

Over.  End of Story.  Go home now.
