Harvard Law ?journal of the legal left? attempts to silence anti-Holder ...

I reported last night on plans to protest via posters on campus?the appearance of Eric Holder tomorrow at Harvard Law School regarding the Fast and Furious controversy.? At the end of my post last night I joked:

I wonder how long they will stay up.? And how long before half of the Justice Department is tasked with unmasking the force behind Harvard Law Unbound.

The protest is organized by a website ?Harvard Law Unbound,? which in its banner notes that it is not connected to ?Unbound ? harvard journal of the legal left.?

Apparently ?Unbound? previously had objected to this website using the name ?Harvard Unbound? and the website was taken down. But using the current configuration, the website has operated since April 9.? The website was no secret, as it was written up both in the Harvard Law Record (April 16)?and Above the Law (April 17).

But all of the sudden, with the website getting publicity regarding Holder?s visit, a person claiming to speak on behalf of Unbound has attempted to get the protest website shut down, and posted a comment asserting a violation of?WordPress terms of service and copyright law:

Andrew says:

This comment is to notify you that this blog is in violation of the WordPress terms of service and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, for its unauthorized and illegal impersonation of a Harvard Law School journal. WordPress, its licensed copyright agent, and the Harvard administration have all been contacted about this website. We advise you to permanently delete this site and its contents, and desist from any further impersonations and false representations.

How curious that the objection and attempt to shut down the website comes just as the Holder protest is starting, even though the website has been operating openly for over a month.

I have an e-mail into the person believed to be responsible for the notice.? I will let you know the position of ?Unbound -?harvard journal of the legal left? if and when received.
