But the mnore I think about it the less convinced I am that anyone thought through conspiracy to defraud in terms of visitors to the site, especially first time visitors whop couldn;t possibly know what the contents were or their provenance - it just won't wash. I wonder if they just rang IFPI or the like and asked for some boilerplate text..panglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900934369744270540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16688455.post-23628515056681301062012-02-15T22:54:19.664+00:002012-02-15T22:54:19.664+00:00Bloody hell, I just managed to read this after see...Bloody hell, I just managed to read this after seeing several tweets on the subject. <br /><br />I'm left speechless.

OTOH as I think Jack of Kent pointed out there could well be pre trial prejudice (contempt) by pre judging the guilt or innocence of visitors to site..panglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900934369744270540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16688455.post-83270868059137151582012-02-15T13:22:10.912+00:002012-02-15T13:22:10.912+00:00Ha ha this could be fun if they go ahead.

Thus they are displaying their message, which appears to menace and threaten(#TwitterJokeTrial), to a lot of people who have never even visited the blog before the takedown.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775360063083949266noreply@blogger.com
