BBV: What happened to Global Free Press?
I can't get the memo search engine any more, and it seems the direct links to the memos are down (I had some bookmarked and they no longer work).

Also, I checked out the link from the Diebold cease and desist letter, and that link is down too.

Is it just me or have the memos gone?

Are there any other sources out there?

3. Me too!
I had a couple of good ones that I hadn't posted yet, but the site seems to have gone down and now I can't find them :-(

So if anyone has another link to the Dieabold memos, please let me know.

Or did he take it down pre-emptively?

4. They're dead - they're ALL dead!
Or is it just me?

The freewebs site returns a 404 error, and the other one times out.

Has Diebold gotten to ALL of the memo sites?

9. I'm in New Zealand, so it is a bit impractical...
I really need an online source where I can view them piecemeal rather than trying to download the whole lot.

Also, postage would probably be a bitch if you meant you'd send me a copy, and I ain't got a lot of spare money at the moment.

Thanks for the offer though. :-)

17. Postage on a CD to NZ would be less than $3.50
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 11:12 AM by Melinda
Not a huge amount of money.

Many have copies of all the BBV stuff no longer available, so its likely to surface again soon, not to worry.


Take the offer of the CD - I'll even send gb&c the postage on your behalf. :)

19. Wow...
looks like I might have to take you up on your offer :-(

It seems that everywhere online that these memos have been posted has been taken down. Diebold sure were busy.

It is absolutely amazing that they have spent so much effort in trying to quash this. Think about it, not only did they have to pay lawyers for their work on the C&D letters, they had to get people to track down ALL the places they were stored online, and then determine the owners of the sites and their ISP's and then they sent their letters.

I mean if you think about it, this must have been pretty serious for them. I wonder if they are afraid of a massive class action lawsuit?

Anyone feel like owning Diebold? All you have to do is file...

Anyway, that's me for tonight, I'll check this thread again later to see if any working links have been found (or created in the meantime).

8. Wow. Ashcroft can shut this Diebold stuff down in no time at all...
...but he can't throw the switch on sites claiming to be run by Islamic extremists, or sites promoting child porn? Whats the matter with this picture?

18. Look on the Gnutella network, filename: SecretDieboldMemos.tar.gz
File size: Roughly 11,550,838 bytes
(okay, that's not roughly, that's exact)

Keep searching for it. The gnutella net usually seems to be in several different pieces, and stuff that comes up one day may seem to be gone the next because you're on a different 'segment'.

At least that's what I'm told...

20. I tried Gnutella, but I'm technologically challenged
and couldn't find a thing.
