LiveLeak Finds Stones: Fitna Back Up!
2008-03-31
** 30/3/2008: Liveleak Update **

On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with no other choice but to remove the film "fitna" from our servers following serious threats to our staff and their families. Since that time we have worked constantly on upgrading all security measures thus offering better protection for our staff and families. With these measures in place we have decided to once more make this video live on our site. We will not be pressured into censoring material which is legal and within our rules. We apologise for the removal and the delay in getting it back, but when you run a website you don't consider that some people would be insecure enough to threaten our lives simply because they do not like the content of a video we neither produced nor endorsed but merely hosted.

#5  I think that spouses and kids were threatened. It took time to get police protection etc. lined up before the restored the video.

#4  Yes! Made my day.
(And I guess no-one threatened to kill them if they didn't show it),
Does leave a sour after-taste, however, having succumbed to threats which are there anyway, instead of just telling the tossers to take a long hike in the first place.
