[Ecommerce] Censorship busted?: Bloggers Versus Billionaire

[jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com]

All,

  Censorship and it's proponents, especially those whom
wish to silence of hide the truth seem to be on the wrong
side of e-ethics.

Roger Whittaker writes "An interesting case in England is pitting the
combined power of multiple [1]bloggers against an Uzbek billionaire. The
bloggers are supporting the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig
Murray, who has written a book about what happened there after the fall
of Communism. The book is apparently unflattering in the extreme to
oligarch Alisher Usmanov, who has engaged the law firm Schillings (which
seems to specialize in getting unfavorable Web content removed for rich
clients). Their threats have led to the removal of Murray's blog site by
his hosting company Fasthosts. But a large number of bloggers have taken
up Murray's cause, and the content that caused the original complaint,
and links to it, have now sprung up in a very large number of places. The
Internet still seems to regard censorship as damage and route around it.
