John is right now in civil disobeidience mode, a'la Martin Luther King and Gandhi, which he has done by refusing to take down (for example)http://cryptome.org/mi5-lis-uk.htm even after a DMCA complaint was filed
Er, you have your facts a bit off here. John has obeyed several DMCA takedown notices. He's only refused ones that aren't compliant with the law. In the case of the MI5 one, there was never any sort of court order.
However, if Verio hadn't taken down the material after John refused to take it down, they'd lose their safe harbor under the DMCA, and end up being liable themselves.
You are, again, factually in error. The MI5 request was years ago, and no legal action proceeded from it. John has obeyed the law to the letter. There has been no comment from Verio about why they've decided to shut off his service now, certainly none to the effect that it is about this particular incident. You're simply wrong on your facts here.
