Cryptome defies State of Massachusetts

Interesting StuffAccording to a recent Cryptome.org update, Cryptome.org was recently sent a Grand Jury subpoena for access logs to a certain posting over a certain date range. Enclosed directly on the subpoena was the following:”As this subpoena is related to an ongoing criminal investigation, please do not reveal this request to any individual not necessary to comply with the subpoena or to the subscriber”.

The primary administrator of Cryptome sent and signed his afidavid which was also posted:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

CRYPTOME

AFFIDAVIT

I, John Young, administrator of Cryptome, hereby declare that logs of
Cryptome are deleted daily, or more often during heavy traffic, to
protect the privacy of visitors to the site. Cryptome does not own or
know the location of the machine which hosts its virtual private
server under a service agreement with NTT/Verio.

There are several international mirrors of the files on Cryptome, all
of which, to the best of my knowledge, delete logs to protect privacy
of visitors.

Attested and communicated to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by
this PGP-signed statement published on Cryptome, 6 January 2003:
