Re: Whack a mole.

Everyones talking about a law change....but if your talking about a change in law then your admitting McColo didn't break any current law. I'm no advocate of McColo, but I find it funny that a newspaper can legitimately start a lynch mob, and without conviction have a company shut down. This is a horrible precedent. Guilty or not, bypassing the proper methods may give McColo an out, and may even enable them and their clients to seek damages against Global Crossing and hurricane.

This is going to be like a crime drama where the defendant gets released on a technicality. In this case, it will be the premature actions of Global and Hurricane, whom should also be complicit if they knew what was going on!

The WP says that unless it's k porn or copyright infringment, that's the case. However, the contract that McCulo had with their providers is a whole other ball of ear wax. The WP goes on to state that the commercial front-ends of several k porn rings were hosted by McCulo.

I'm sure those two providers know their legal standing. You don't know the terms of service which McColo agreed to. You make it sound like McColo had an absolute right to those two networks.
