The website mentioned in the guardian article,
wikitruth.info is registered by proxy and only the homepage
works. All links get the error message. I have a hunch
that "wikitruth.info" is a bogus site set up by a vested
interest that hates the truth about itself being told in
various articles. This interest was the folks who were the
first to use the DMCA.
