That sucks for the owner.

Really???? well according to one article, the CIA has been funding him.. he's "fleece" them for as much as he can get out of them.. and he has major dirt on them...

This stuff is damn entertaining.

wikileaks.nl also works

Wikileaks is good stuff :thumbsup

land of the free, but at what cost???

freedom of speech, with a bullet in the head... oh the irony that this world possesses.

all they need to do to fix wikileaks.org is change the nameservers. The domain status looks fine. I don't understand why they haven't changed nameservers yet, either they don't have access to the dynadot account or else they're just eating up the free publicity.

im confused, was his domain confiscated or did the dns go offline and he couldnt find a replacement?

the DNS is basically offline. The domain doesn't appear to be confiscated. All they need to do is update nameservers for their domain.

The DNS provider stopped providing DNS service for wikileaks.org. The nameservers for wikileaks.org is still showing:

Name Server:NS1.EVERYDNS.NET
Name Server:NS2.EVERYDNS.NET
Name Server:NS3.EVERYDNS.NET
Name Server:NS4.EVERYDNS.NET

EveryDNS posted a public statement:

“EveryDNS.net provided domain name system (DNS) services to the wikileaks.org domain name until 10PM EST, December 2, 2010, when such services were terminated. As with other users of the EveryDNS.net network, this service was provided for free. The termination of services was effected pursuant to, and in accordance with, the EveryDNS.net Acceptable Use Policy.“

The domain does NOT appear to be seized. And Dynadot, the registrar for wikileaks.org, doesn't appear to have stopped service for it.

I'm not sure why wikileaks hasn't changed to new nameservers yet.

wow that site is unreal, I am behind the times, it was my first time checking it out. Just amazing.

big deal, moved it to: http://wikileaks.ch

Interesting article that in the land of the free they are now threatening people who access the website....

I cant help but wonder if Wikileaks might be a test case of what is about to follow. Think about it, if they can throw this guy in jail for 50 years, throw the other wiki staff and supporters in jail, jail people who simply read the website....then it becomes a threat to anyone who posts anything negative on the government anywhere on the internet. If this keeps up, in 5 or 10 years from now, a post like the one Im making now would get me hunted down anywhere in the world and jailed for life or dead.
Its like we are seeing the first shots fired in World War Three between the world governments and the people. George Orwell was so spot on in his book 1984. The only thing was he got the year wrong.

If only America was trying to push a bill through that would allow it to just shut off websites without any courts or due process. They could pretend it was to stop CP or counterfeitting or something, then people would support it. Until a year later when Americanland uses this new bill to just shut off all anti-government sites. Then they could shut off all sites they didn't like altogether....
















...Oh hang on a minute!!!!!!

the ugly stench of desperation

Industry Minister Eric Besson wrote a letter to business and technology leaders on Friday calling for ways to ban WikiLeaks from using servers in France, local media reported.

"I ask you to indicate to me as soon as possible what action can be taken to ensure that this Internet site is no longer hosted in France," Besson wrote in the letter.

"France cannot host an Internet site that violates the secrecy of diplomatic relations and endangers people," the letter added.

The letter was addressed to the French General Board of Industry, Energy and Technology, demanding concerning organizations and leaders to stop WikiLeaks from using the facilities of French company OVH located in the northern region.

So far WikiLeaks has let out some 250,000 U.S. diplomacy cables, which has irritated Washington so much that U.S. Amazon stopped hosting for the "violator" on Thursday.

The French government declared after the disclosure by WikiLeaks that U.S.-French relations would not be harmed in the wake of the incident, reaffirming its "solidarity" with the U.S. administration.

Previous reports said WikiLeaks was forced Friday to switch to a Swiss domain name, wikileaks.ch, since its U.S. domain continued being attacked until the U.S. domain provider withdrew service.

Wikileaks.ch and .de are down for me.

Their account has been closed so they are unable to access it to change the nameservers. They are in the process of transferring the domain to a new registrar but this takes a few days.

Wikileaks needs cloud hosting.....

They need to host in Iran, Venezuela, Cuba or North Korea ... All others are just doing their masters wishes ...

That is a very good point, Its the countries that always go on about how free they are that are the ones trying to close it down.
And the countries that are often portrayed in the Western media as being unfree as the ones that have no problem with Wikileaks being accessable in their country.

Heres an interesting example in Pakistan...."Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday dismissed a petition seeking ban on access to website WikiLeaks.

The judge declared the petition non-maintainable as access to information was the fundamental right of every citizen."....http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/?page=2...-12-2010_pg1_6

So we now have a situation where Wikileaks is openly available in Iran, Syria, Russia, Venezuela, Brazil, Pakistan and others......while the self proclaimed free world like the United States is doing everything it can to shut it down, threaten to jail people for reading it and threatening anyone who hosts it.

It wasn't up long enough for me to view it, which is fairly sad as i spend most of my time hunched over a laptop.

damn new trent...
