Wikileaks.org shutdown but available at wikileaks.cx

Seems rather naive to expect that a domain can be "locked down" without the information being mirrored elsewhere.
Could they really be this dumb?
Looks like there was already a .be mirror. There are probably others.
The only thing that beggars the imagination more than the arrogance of lawyers is said lawyers ignorance of the interwebs :rolleyes:.
(Not you dominic :D.)

Seeing as the Captain neglected to post a link to the actual injunction, here it is:

@captainwifi: I would be a lot more comfortable with (credible) external sources backing up this story, but here are the contents of that pdf:
