Shutting down of British blogs

This blog entry is about "Alisher Usmanov" the Russian billionaire who is trying to buy over Arsenal Football Club.

On some blogs there were comments about Alisher Usmanov on Tim Ireland's bloggerhead.co.uk and and Craig Murry's craigmurry.co.uk and they both got shut down because of these comments about him so he decided he would shut them down because he is a billionaire.

Some good points were made like using American blogger sites so then he wouldn't be able to shut them down because he has no power over in America this all just shows him to be a bully and he gets everything he wants just because he is rich he also has a criminal record for "receiving bribes and extortion" so i don't think you would want Simone like that to run your football club.

Also Demon Internet refused to remove the posts on "soc.culture.thai newsgroup" and will now have to pay £15,000 for damages plus legal costs that will be around about £230,000 so it including other costs so it is likely to reach about £500,000."The case, settled just four days before a jury trail was due to begin, hinged on whether Demon Internet could be treated as publisher of material on a newsgroup it hosted"
