WikiLeaks goes paywall, with predictable results

http://j.mp/QgdXEG  (Wired)

    Secret-spilling site WikiLeaks has moved millions of documents behind
    a paywall, prompting blowback from elements of an underground ally,
    the hacking group Anonymous, including one well-known member to
    conclude that it "cannot support anymore what WikiLeaks has become."

WikiLeaks might have an easier time attracting funding if their
fearless leader hadn't jumped bail leaving his supporters holding a
very expensive bag.
