I agree -- I don't think the censors have lost. If anything, the
restrictions are getting worse; the latest reports from Germany say that
the www.webcom.com blocking is not limited to DT/T-Online.

Now the German universities are blocking, as is the "Win" scientific
network. All in the absence of a court order. One message forwarded to
me apparently came from network admins:

ich moechte Sie an dieser Stelle ueber eine bewusste
Routing-Einschraenkung informieren.  Bis auf weiteres wird die Route
zum Server www.webcom.com alias s1000e.webcom.com (206.2.192.66) auf
dem ipgate2 geerdet: "wir haben nun das Routing zum WWW-Server
www.webcom.com eingestellt.  Wie aus der Tagespresse zu erfahren war,
wird ueber diesen Server Nazi-Propaganda verteilt. Die
Staatsanwaltschaft Mannheim ermittelt gegen Ernst Zuendel, Produzent
dieser WWW-Seite, wegen des Verdachts auf Volksverhetzung."

If anyone's interested, we're talking about this in more detail on
fight-censorship, which is probably a more appropriate forum. Email
fight-censorship-request+@andrew.cmu.edu if you'd like to be added.
