Has Harry’s Place been taken down?

Posted by cabalamat on 2008-Aug-26

I cannot access the blog Harry’s Place at the moment (17:41 on Tuesday 26-Aug-2008). It appears that it may have suffered a takedown notice. As Norm Geras writes:

If Harry’s Place should go silent…

… it will be for the reason that you can still read about at Harry’s Place itself: a complaint has been sent to the company hosting HP’s domain name – they think because they pointed out someone’s having linked from the UCU activists list to a far-right website.

While I have had my disagreements with Harry’s Place, it is wrong for people to be able to use legal threats to take down websites.
