The dispute over data files and software from WikiLeaks escalates

 Platform founder Julian Assange has instructed a lawyer to take action against former employees. This had taken much of the material. WikiLeaks will cause a stir with revelations - now the makers of the platform make their own headlines.

As has now become known, the Berlin lawyer John Eisenberg on 6 February in the name of Julian Assange the former speaker of the platform, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, in a statement called upon to return data and software (press release this in the text here). He was hired by Assange, pulling out the need to respond in court, and "take action against the DB (Daniel Domscheit Mountain) about Mr.


Assange spread slander", he said. The dispute about the orientation of the site last year had left staff WikiLeaks the project - and data sets taken. Domscheit-Berg writes in his book "Inside WikiLeaks, which will be announced on Thursday that the data had only been" secured "because not Assange could not guarantee their safety.

He would not retain the material. Among them are previously unpublished documents that were sent anonymously to Wikileaks, and a software for operating a secure online mailbox. Eisenberg calls this view in his statement a "protective claim" that should "ummänteln" the "theft" of data. Even in an interview with Stern defends Domscheit-Berg data kidnapping.

WikiLeaks was not even an encrypted site. Apparently Assange was too busy, "cannibalize" the existing wealth of data. If he could not guarantee their safety, he can reclaim the hijacked data. In Eisenberg's statement now reads: "The materials are natural with safe Wikileaks Wikileaks Wikileaks is able to work is able to store the materials safely and to publish..." The weblog network policy Domscheit-Berg wrote in a comment that they had repeatedly offered to transfer the data to a secure server.
