Live Leak Faces Death, and Faints

UPDATE: Live Leak Lives

Live Leak, the original host of Geer Wilders' film, Fitna, has removed the film from its site and posted the following notice:

The Removal of “Fitna”
Official LiveLeak statement

Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed comments from certain members of the British media that could directly affect the safety of some staff members, Liveleak has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.

This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.

Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one another’s culture.

We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.

No doubt a business has to take into consideration many factors when deciding how far it can put the lives of its employees' and investors' on the line for free speech, when faced with the kind of thuggery which some disciples of Mohammed consider the epitome of the defense of the sacred. But the internet is probably beyond the control of any criminal gang. And as long as free Western societies exist with people willing to defend them, I imagine Fitna will still be found somewhere on the net. Here are some at present:
