WikiLeaks is an organization that publishes leaked documents on its website. </p> <p>“The Department of Justice is turning into an agent of harassment rather than an agent of law,” Stephens, of the firm Finers Stephens Innocent LLP, said. “They’re shaking the tree to see if anything drops out, but more important they are shaking down people who are supporters of WikiLeaks.” </p> <p>U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Nov. 29 that the Justice Department is investigating the posting by WikiLeaks of thousands of classified U.S. diplomatic communications and military documents. Lawyers have said the U.S. will likely charge Assange with espionage. </p> <p>“To help users protect their rights, it’s our policy to notify users about <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/law-enforcement/">law enforcement</a> and governmental requests for their information, unless we are prevented by law from doing so,” Twitter spokeswoman Carolyn Penner said in an e-mail.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Read more <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-10/u-s-twitter-subpoena-on-wikileaks-is-harassment-lawyer-says.html">here</a> and follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/processservers">Twitter</a>!<br /></p><!-- AddThis Bookmark Button END --><div class="blogger-post-footer">Content courtesy of ServeNow.com <a href="http://www.serve-now.com">Process Server Directory</a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19586088.post-21789657849052097952011-01-12T11:36:00.004-07:002011-01-12T11:52:20.184-07:00Why Twitter Was the Only Company to Challenge the Secret WikiLeaks Subpoena<a title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&pub=westin&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" width="125" height="16" /></a><br />Secret subpoenas of the kind the Department of Justice sent Twitter <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/10/business/media/10link.html">are apparently</a> not unusual. In fact, other tech companies may also have received similar WikiLeaks-related requests. But what is unusual in this story is that Twitter resisted. Which raises an interesting question: Assuming that Twitter was not the only company to have been served a secret subpoena, why was it the only company that fought back? The answer might lie in the figure leading Twitter’s legal efforts, Alexander Macgillivray (right), an incredibly mild mannered (really) but sharp-as-a-tack cyber law expert.<br /><br />Twitter’s general counsel comes out of Harvard’s prestigious Berkman Center for Internet and Society, the cyber law powerhouse that has churned out some of the leading Internet legal thinkers. The center was founded a little over a decade ago by none other than Charles Nesson, the famous defender of Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg. While at Harvard, Macgillivray helped teach a course on the law of cyberspace, along with Wendy Seltzer, a fellow at Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy. Today Seltzer leads the Chilling Effects clearinghouse, a collaboration between several law schools and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which tracks legal challenges to lawful online activity.<br /><br /><br />Read more <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1716100/why-twitter-was-the-only-company-to-challenge-the-secret-wikileaks-subpoena">here</a> and follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/processservers">Twitter!</a><br /><!-- AddThis Bookmark Button END --><div class="blogger-post-footer">Content courtesy of ServeNow.com <a href="http://www.serve-now.com">Process Server Directory</a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19586088.post-26176742415007778902011-01-11T11:37:00.001-07:002011-01-11T11:39:07.027-07:00<a title="Bookmark using any bookmark manager!" onclick="window.open('http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?wt=nw&pub=westin&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'addthis', 'scrollbars=yes,menubar=no,width=620,height=520,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,screenX=200,screenY=100,left=200,top=100'); return false;" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="AddThis Social Bookmark Button" src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" width="125" height="16" /></a><br />Some people think that Seth Rogen is making his crime-fighting debut this week in <a href="http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2010/12/17/final-green-hornet-poster-unveiled/">The Green Hornet</a>. Those people are mistaken.<br /><br />Yes, Rogen’s adaptation of the classic pulp character is fighting its way into theaters this weekend, but his turn as Britt Reid is hardly the first time that he’s played a gun-toting hero. Rogen already covered that territory as pothead process server Dale Denton in 2008′s Pineapple Express, and based on comments from Rogen’s screenwriting partner and pal Evan Goldberg, he could be headed back into the wacky world of weed-infused misadventures before much longer.<br /><br />Speaking with <a href="http://screenrant.com/evan-goldberg-interview-green-hornet-pineapple-express-2-sausage-party-rothc-95603/">Screen Rant</a>, Goldberg revealed:<br /><br />“I’m even hesitant to make Pineapple 2, but I’m loosening up to it as of like the last few weeks. Recently we were at Danny Mcbride’s wedding, and we were all there, well David couldn’t make it (David Gordon Green, the director of Pineapple Express); but me, (James) Franco, Seth and Danny were all there and I thought; ‘this is fun, I have fun with these guys.’ … Everyone has always wanted to do it, me and Seth were very hesitant, but frankly I was the driving force behind that hesitancy. I just kept thinking, you know not to say we’re the Coen Brothers, because we’re super not – they’re my idols in a lot of ways – but those guys never make a sequel.

"How many you got this time?"<br /><br />Murray, 45, pulls the top papers from a stack of recently filed foreclosure complaints piled on the armrest.

Meanwhile in Ecuador, one day after a judge closed the window to submit new evidence, Chevron tried to invalidate the complaint because it allegedly contains forged signatures. <br /><br />Joseph Kohn of Kohn, Swift & Graf forfeited his right to attorney-client privilege by letting a documentary crew film strategy sessions, U.S. District Judge Jan DuBois found. <br /><br />Kohn and another attorney, Steven Donziger, helped Ecuadorians sue Chevron over damage to their community from 30 years of drilling in the country conducted by Texaco, which became a Chevron subsidiary in 2001. <br /><br />In a bid to draw international attention to the case, and mount pressure on Chevron, they also invited filmmaker Joseph Berlinger to document the rainforest devastation.
