Toljaso, Julius Baer; Part II

On Friday, as previously reported, Julius Baer Bank tried to shut down Wikileaks.org by obtaining an ex parte injunction.

Now the story is in the New York Times. Which, of course, means that the International Herald Tribune has it.

The New York Times helpfully points out that ordering Dynadot to disable the domain name does nothing to disable the IP address of Wikileaks.org, which the Times helpfully furnishes.

So, in an effort to squelch Wikileaks, Julis Baer Bank's lawyers have splashed the name of their client in front of tens of millions of people by now, 99.999% of whom probably had never heard of the bank before. But now they have and the lasting impression will be that the bank is run by and for sleazeballs.

Like I said before, smooth move, guys.
