Bloggers Give Spocko An Assist, Post Contested ABC Radio Files

MEDIA CRITIC SPOCKO, WHOSE BLOG was shut down last week in response to Disney's complaints that he violated its copyright by posting audio files from right-wing San Francisco talk radio station KSFO, is once again online.
Sunday morning, his muckraking blog Spocko's Brain (www.spockosbrain.com), had resurfaced on the Web, hosted by Computer Tyme Web Hosting. What's more, several bloggers from around the world posted the disputed audio files--all but daring Disney to go after them as well. . . .It took less than 48 hours for the material Disney tried to keep quiet to go wide. By Friday night, the site Online Blogintegrity linked to zip files of the entire collection of KSFO hate rants, as well as solo links to separate incidents. These links were supported by one of Blogintegrity's seven regular contributors, Iowan Scott Ripley, on his personal site, The Zen Cabin (www.zencabin.com). By Saturday morning, a site in Hong Kong and one with sympathies to the Arab world had added the audio files. By early Saturday afternoon, there were a dozen sites supporting them, including the progressive blog that sparked the first news of Spocko's situation, The Daily Kos.
By late Saturday afternoon, selections were posted on YouTube and the battle to suppress the information was effectively over, with Disney and KSFO the losers.
Take that!

Hi Nice Blog .I am not much for jewelry. I told my husband after he put my wedding ring on my finger that no further Jewelers Point purchases were necessary and that I didn't see the point in spending hundreds of dollars on rocks and metal.
