When Diebold (the electronic voting machine people) filed cease and desist orders on an obscure student website to get them to take down copies of incriminating Diebold memos, probably there were not many people who would ever see those memos. But, thanks to the temerity of those students in standing firm and getting the word out about the Diebold threat, they've since gotten lots and lots of publicity.
The move has backfired on Diebold, and now they are dropping their cease and desist orders and their threat to sue websites carrying the memos.
The firm who represents the students, however, is not dropping its lawsuit against Diebold for "intimidating Internet service providers".
You can find more info on Diebold at my website.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
