Amazon UK selling Wikileak documents

[Fudzy]

- Diplomatic cables contained in WikiLeaks are available for sale on Amazon's UK website. It's a twist following the company's refusal to host the WikiLeaks' website.

Oh the irony, pull out on hosting the site and then profit off the content.

Oh lord, now we are going to get DOS attacks against Amazon.

Oh lord, now we are going to get DDoS attacks against Amazon.

That's what seems to be in the plan ... http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/12/09/world.wikileaks/index.html?hpt=T2

These 'hackers' need to get a life.

How is destroying people's Christmas shopping in any way promoting the 'greater good' ?

If anything, it will create more hostility towards Wikileaks [even if Wikileaks isn't doing it themselves].

And if they are promoting 'openess', why aren't they being open themselves about their identities? Hypocritical idiots.

Selling... if you followed the link it would be obvious that I made a spelling mistake (posted from my phone) and that the forum has disabled the ability to edit thread titles.

... and that the forum has disabled the ability to edit thread titles.

Since when? Although you need to edit the title within that first minute after posting the thread

Yeah I know, I only saw the spelling mistake sometime afterwards. Seriously what sort of dumbass assumes that I'm meaning anything other than what the linked article's title is?

Really isn't that big of a deal. It's common sense that seeling was meant to be selling, no need to make a big thing over it

I'm sure a mod will fix it soon enough

Yeah I've RBP'd it, hopefuly it will get fixed soon. Not really suprised that those who would rather pick on spelling mistakes would also rather avoid the issue all together.

What is the title of the e-book? I can't see the title listed in the article...?

 

[smokey]

Priceless... boot wikileaks from your server, then sell the stuff that was the reason that they were booted off the server for a nice, tidy profit. Y'know, this is the reason EVERYONE loves capitalism people. It's just cool like that.

ooops,

i think this is about to get hit by the content of all of the sewerage farms in the world....
