Diebold takes down blackboxvoting.org

US election fraud? Perish the thought!

DIEBOLD ELECTION SYSTEMS has brandished lawyers' threats to take down
that pesky citizens activist website blackboxvoting.org. It seems they
charged copyright infringement regarding materials on other websites that
blackboxvoting.org merely linked to, despite such links having been ruled
legal by appellate courts in other instances.

This appears to be a public relations gaffe of staggering proportions on
Diebold's part. It's not like bunging the terms "Diebold election fraud"
into Google brings up only that blackboxvoting.org site -- just it and
about 1,889 other hits, including a recent story at Salon, another at
Wired, and two pieces here at the INQUIRER, as well as articles in major
news publications. What can they be thinking?
