...prior restraint on free speech and warned it could have a "chilling effect" on other organizations, who might become wary of facing similar suits if they chose to publish or host controversial material. Those critics also said the ruling could set a dangerous precedent for the Internet, a new frontier in the battle over free speech whose terrain remains largely uncharted. Of particular concern to free speech advocates was the scope of the injunction. "The initial order was the Cyberspace equivalent of shutting down a newspaper" because of one story, says Steven Shapiro, legal director of the American Civil Liberties...
While the case remains open, Friday's ruling should "discourage other potential litigants from trying to use tactics like this," says Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Zimmerman notes that Dynadot, the site's San Mateo, Calif.-based domain registrar and a target of the injunction, is shielded from liability by the Communications Decency Act of 1996.

In 1999, Pakistan was a stable country with a moderate political party in power. There were no suicide bombings, no abductions...
Agnelli has enjoyed superb timing, but mining analyst John Tumazos says Vale's real edge is a willingness to explore the new mining frontier, in developing countries, years before the competition. "Things don't frighten them so much because they are used to ups and downs," Tumazos says. In New Caledonia, for example, Vale inherited a nickel project that had stalled because of concerns from residents. Vale flew some of the locals to the Amazon to show off its environmental stewardship; the project is now on track, along with 29 others in Mongolia, Mozambique, Gabon, Oman and Australia...
