FCO Threaten Legal Action to Supress Craig Murray's Book
Posted July 7th, 2006 by ringverse
So it has started.
As Craig isn't contravening the Official Secret's Act with the documentation he has published in support of his book 'Murder in Samarkand' on his site, here at Blairwatch and Dahr Jamail's site, they are trying to use the Crown Copyright Laws to keep him quiet.
See this letter from the Treasury Solicitors [pdf]:
and further email correspondence on Craig's site Lenin's Tomb.
We await further news...
Dahr Jamail has added a torrent file to share, and a zip to download of all the documents directly.

I will host them on my
I will host them on my website if at least ten other people do so (or promise to do so if I do).
By the way -- and I hate to
By the way -- and I hate to lower the tone -- the link to Craig's website is broken.
Thanks, fixed the link.

And some bunch of chaps called many angry gerbils.
So, that's: Politics in the Zeros, the gerbils, Dahr Jamail, Blairwatch, and of course Murray himself. Five down, five to go.
Maybe all this makes me look like a wimp, but I live in the UK, and my website clearly identifies me.

Better email Brenda, then...

To other bloggers, thanks. the more distribution these docs get, the less chance there is of legal action being taken.
There's another download

I have posted the documents on The Nether-World now and I have left a comment with Bloggers Against Torture so that maybe some more people on their huge blogroll might help spread the documents far and wide. Fingers crossed.

As far as I understand it, copyright infringements are civil law and not criminal law. No bloggers will be locked up.
In infringement cases, plaintiffs are awarded damages amounting to what they would have lost, if the rights had not been pirated.
Craig Murray is not selling fake Levi Jeans nor pirated copies of i-Tunes mp3s, nor selling anything at all, let alone anything that had any commercial value.
The Music Industry is very bright about copyright laws - the Performing Rights Society in particular - but even they are not able to prosecute cases of lending music to another individual for no commercial gain.
I think this is huff and puff. But what do I know.

Glad to see they've taken
Glad to see they've taken the Spycatcher affair to heart. This looks even dumber to me as they can't claim the materials are secret and as we saw before they won't be able to get them 'unpublished' in foreign jurisdictions, let alone from all the places on the Internet they're currently being copied.
If ministers want to spend taxpayers money on looking stupid and inevitably boosting the sales of the book then I think they should be surcharged for it like local councillors can be if they misuse public money.
The documents in pdf form
The documents in pdf form are already mirrored at warmwell.com and I will link to the public page when I hear from Jamail Dahl. (I thought I ought to ask permission from him to copy it all from his pages with the original prefaces attached.) The url is http://www.warmwell.com/craigdocs.html
As for safety in numbers, I hope ..er...ten websites is enough....I am reminded that after the fall of the Paris Commune in 1871 the authorities managed to shoot, execute, imprison or transport to French penal colonies at least twenty thousand irritating dissenters.
Copydude, it depends where
Copydude, it depends where you are. Certainly here in Hong kong copyright infringement is criminal thanks to the influence of big business.

if anyone can make them jpgs and send to me, i'd be more than happy to upload as i cannot now (i can't even link to a pdf as something's wrong w/my site's formatting).

That's for email, I'll put up what I can over at mine, hope it helps!
Here is a new french blog
Here is a new french blog hosting the files
http://murrayfiles.zeblog.com/
Freedom will prevail !!!
If some of you are worried
If some of you are worried about hosting the files on your own servers, I suggest doing it with a file hoster such as
http://www.rapidshare.de/ hosts over 23 million files, is located in Germany and one of the largest anonymous file hosting outfits.
Once you get a url come back here and post it.
I have the full Murray zip here - choose the free option to download - no problem.
http://rapidshare.de/files/25438787/craigmurray.zip.html
Other uploading sites include
www.megaupload.com
www.putfile.com/
www.sharebigfile.com/
www.turboupload.com/
Etc.
Many more here.
This is much better than bittorrent for simple access as I could not find anyone online with the files available. And it's much safer than putting it on your own server. All you are doing is linking to an anonymous file hosting link from another server.
I will continue to add to other anonymouse file hosters. Others are welcome too as well.

I will post it on my site now.
By the way, I live in the UK, I can be clearly identified, I am an immigrant, and there are ways "they" can "reach" me.
But, what the heck, I love freedom too much! And Craig is a true fighter. Also, remember, who will speak up for you?

However, I had a problem doing the "zip file thing" and then linking to it.
