The AP reports that a U.S. judge has issued an injunction against the
Canadian and Swedish authors of cphack, the program that unlocks and
displays the blocked site list from CyberPatrol. The order extends to
distribution by others as well, including -- according to the plaintiff's
attorney -- all mirror sites.
Even without questions of the reach of U.S. law, this is a preposterous
ruling. If you add them in, it's insane.
