So what are we going to do, Mr Newsfeed? You've reported on this 50 times now I think. Many of them are even from the self same news source even. What are we going to do? Shut you down? Get a new provider? Fix whatever bug is causing this? Or just ride the wave?

I know, I know, its a big story, but one copy of the story is enough for us.

I'm sure someone is re-feeding the machine.

You know, Wikipedia lost the criminal case against them, related to the same edits about those three guys. The criminal case ran concurrently to the private lawsuit. Wikipedia had not 'removed the material before the case started'. They removed it ONLY when they know their bums were being dragged into court. And NOT before. But we all know that this is SOP for Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the defendants lawyers have no stake in 'spinning' this, as do the Wikipedia lawyers (who are the regular Google lawyers in France, and based on Florence's crediting of them, probably did this case pro bono).

Wikipedia was forced, by the court, to remove the material, which they of course knew about already, and typically did not. The guys who made the case didn't send it by registered letter (which is the normal legal procedure in Europe). Whoever advised those kids was an amateur. Registered letters are the only legally recognized communication by European courts. The lawyers are spinning this to make it look like France is treating Wikipedia like the U.S. does (by emphasizing the fact that they were considered to be an ISP). Of course, that's wrong, but the lawyers of the 3 plaintiffs dont have a stake in making that point.

This is not a win for Wikipedia. They've got their hands slapped. It will happen again, and worse.
