Copyrighted Image? DMCA | Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has made an admirable habit of enraging western governments over the last few years, particularly the United States. The US government has done everything it can to stop him. Short of assassination. They shut down his website, but mirror sites instantly popped up. They sought legal action, but their efforts have been impeded by the bureaucratic deftness of his attorneys. They froze his bank accounts" but donations have poured in from all over the world. The whole affair is perhaps the foulest example that western governments will ignore their own laws, or selectively apply them, whenever they see fit. |
