Why?

Sir D this may be a less than ''savoury'' site but what necessitates it being shut down? Freedom of speech and all that..
[/QUOTE]Freedom of Speech does not include plagirism. Try copying word for word from history text for a history paper, for example. Stealing is stealing, and sites that are proliferated by stealing should be taken down, period. A lot of people gave Lars Ulrich a hard time about Napster too, even though what they were doing was fundamentally illegal. Witness the fact that that incarnation no longer exists. Granted, it's probably not on that scale, but it's still wrong to do.
