Microsoft's rules for law enforcement set free

A government watchdog site had its Internet domain restored, thanks to Microsoft, a day after the site's ISP shut it down for publishing a Microsoft handbook on how the company deals with law enforcement requests.
Microsoft had demanded that the site -- Cryptome.org -- take down a 22-page document named "Microsoft Online Services Global Criminal Compliance Handbook" as a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Wednesday, the site's ISP, Network Solutions, blocked access to Cryptome's site due to Microsoft's complaint. The site briefly relocated and several mirror sites were put up around the Web so that the document, and thousands of others, remained available for viewing.
