4. LOGO Sticking it to the MAN  The ACM Tech News post:  WikiLeaks avoids shutdown as supporters worldwide go on the offensive By Joby Warrick and Rob Pegoraro; Washington Post Staff Writers; Wednesday, December 8, 2010; 10:53 PMJoby Warrick and Rob Pegoraro  WikiLeaks managed to avoid any government attempt at shutting them down.  “Its primary Web address was deactivated, its PayPal account was frozen, and its Internet server gave it the boot.  The result: WikiLeaks is now stronger than ever, at least as measured by its ability to publish online.  Blocked from using one Internet host, WikiLeaks simply jumped to another. Meanwhile, the number of "mirror" Web sites - effectively clones of WikiLeaks' main contents pages - grew from a few dozen last week to 200 by Sunday. By early Wednesday, the number of such sites surpassed 1,000.”

5. LOGO Actions to think about  What should WikiLeaks do know?  Should they be held accountable for the damage they have caused?  Should they be allowed to continue what they are doing?  Should they be completely shut down?  Should the government allow anything like this to ever happen again?
