Filming an illegal event is… illegal?
,----[ Quote ]
| Will recording or filming of events which are considered illegal in law now
| itself be considered illegal? This is what the Home Affairs Ministry seems to
| propose to amendments of the Films Act.

ARE YOU BEING SERVED
,----[ Quote ]
| An Indymedia server was seized by police in Manchester yesterday (22nd). This
| comes after somebody had posted the address of the judge in the SHAC trial on
| Indymedia, leading to Kent Police requesting that the relevant posts be
| removed, and the IP address of their author be divulged (eg the unique number
| given to each internet connection, which can be used to trace the user). The
| posts had already been pulled, in line with IMC UK policy protecting privacy,
| but because Indymedia don’t log the IP addresses of people publishing on it,
| they couldn’t help police with their enquiries.
|
| [...]
|
| The seizure hasn’t affected the running of Indymedia as the server was one of
| several mirrors. It’s just an inconvenience and has been taken as a general
| attempt by police to attack IMC infrastructure. Several sites were
| temporarily affected including London Indy, and sites for an anti-GM group
| plus a Canadian campaign against the 2010 Olympics.
