More on Diebold - Don't let the Media keep this quiet!

1. Diebold issued a pull-down demand under DMCA for the
BlackBoxVoting.org web site, citing a link posted on a forum in the
site, claiming that the link allowed web visitors to visit an
unrelated page which contained items they say they own the copyright
to.

2. Not only was BlackBoxVoting.org pulled down, but ALL of the
documents, databases and programming for approximately 500 pages of
material, most of which did not relate to Diebold at all, was
confiscated. Dozens of web pages were pulled down which had nothing
whatever to do with the disputed information. AIT Inc. has indicated
that it believes it has the right to pull down the entire web site
including unrelated pages. It then confiscated all of the material.

3. The confiscated pages included personal contact information for 200
activists, and the private strategy sessions for voting machine
activists. BlackBoxVoting.org has yet to receive any explanation at
all as to what authority was claimed to confiscate them. We demand
their immediate return.

4. Most of the memos in question were written in Canada, and resided
on a server in Canada up to and including 2003 after Diebold bought a
Canadian company called Global Election Systems. In Canada, company
correspondence, even internal memos, is not protected by copyright. To
date we have been unable to find evidence, other than a claim in a
letter, that Diebold even owns the copyright to these memos.

5. These memos are more properly termed "Evidence," because they
contain evidence of a pattern of lawbreaking that dates back at least
to 1999.
