I read this earlier today, and I was frankly, at a loss for words. Groklaw has been one of the singular lights in the darkening gloom of Internet Privacy and Law. A number of times it has been close to being shut down, but has been pulled back from the brink at the last moment...I hope that will be true this time, too...but it looks final from the PJ's posting. :-(

I expect that centuries from now, the Archives of Groklaw will be studied by those trying to understand the craziness of this time in history, and it's legal ramifications. That's how important I think their work has been.
