A site going down after a takedown request is more likely than it actually being 
taken down? We should play cards sometime...

Here is more, this time from CNN, except CNN presents net censorship as a good

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/11/05/uk.lawmaker.hit.list/?hpt=T2

CNN has targeted that website for a long time. A search yields several CNN
