After the Kirkland police's legal threats against Politech, the inevitable 
has happened, and the Politech article has been mirrored:

No word yet on whether the sites in Austria have been served with a 
cease-and-desist letter by Kirkland's attorneys. More news coverage:

Declan:

[excerpt] Our decision to publish the graphic, McCullagh's emails and
this editorial is unequivocal. Judges need to understand that prior
restraints on speech yield detrimental consequences. All too often, the
issuing of prior restraints does little more than invite violation and
sharpen the focus of what may have otherwise remained in relative
obscurity. Our position is consistent with our commitment to freedom of
expression, the relevance of this case to our own experiences relating
to prior restraint and to point out clearly that prior restraints should
not be issued and do not work. No matter how well-intended a prior
restraint may be, it is flagitious, perhaps even more so when
accompanied by sweet reason rather than the gag orders of a precisian.
