[Imc-uk-features] PROPOSAL revised feature on ahimsa harddrive

[ionnek]

Hi Andi, Chris and Pennie,

I've gratefully incorporated your comments, and added a statement from 
ascii, whose public internet caff was raided around the same time in 
Amsterdam - they immediately made the link between the virtual space 
represented by our harddrives and the physical space of their squat.

Chris, actually it was you quoting the eff article on irc that made me 
write this article :-) I thought that we really needs something that 
shows how much support we got.
Andi, you are right - the disclosure of the court order was far too 
hidden, thanks!
Pennie, yes you are right about the NUJ. The only reason it wasn't in 
the first draft was that I only heard through the grapevine about their 
support, but didn't find any links on the AhimsaOverview wiki. I didn't 
find nuj reports on the uk newswire, but didn't spend much time 
searching - if there is any interesting NUJ link apart from the one I 
found, pls let me know... I assumed the NUJ support wasn't public yet. 
Now I've searched a bit and found that the NUJ actually published an 
article stating their support, so I've added the link to the article and 
the wiki.

Now I don't know what to do best with this article. Maybe it shouldn't 
go on top of the falluja feature - I guess we could publish it with an 
earlier date, like nov 7, one month after the seizure, so it shows 
underneath.

For an email, it would probably need a bit of re-structuring, links at 
the end etc.
What do you all think?
