[LINK] Crimenet Site

[Howard Lowndes]

IIRC a precedent was established in the UK about a year ago which
dissociated the location of the server from the location of its
management.

Mind you, if Schulz is found to be in contempt of court for re-publishing
already published material, then where does that place the media who
published in the first instance and libraries, etc. who archive that
published material. Surely they are as equally in contempt.

Howard.
