Basically the guy has been put into jail for contempt of court. The conditions of his release say that he has to get rid of certain things from his website. The problem is that he has no internet access in jail!

Well, it's no trick for Mr. Trummel to give an associate or his lawyer, the necessary passwords, etc. to remove the information. I suspect that he has elected not to in defiance of the judge's order.

Scary stuff nonetheless. I don't like the idea that someone detained for civil contempt is not guaranteed a speedy trial. Is that there to dissuade civil disobedience?
