FC: Mirror of essay that Florida judge banned from the Internet

The New York Times article is here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/02/national/02INTE.html

Excerpt:
Judge Lewis ruled on May 6, before Mr. Max was notified of the suit and without holding a hearing. She told Mr. Max that he could not use "Katy" on his site. Nor could he use Ms. Johnson's last name, full name or the words "Miss Vermont." The judge also prohibited Mr. Max from "disclosing any stories, facts or information, notwithstanding its truth, about any intimate or sexual acts engaged in by" Ms. Johnson. That prohibition is not limited to his Web site. Finally, Judge Lewis ordered Mr. Max to sever the virtual remains of his relationship with Ms. Johnson. He is no longer allowed to link to her Web site. The page of Mr. Max's site that used to contain his rambling memoir now has only a reference to the court order.

Declan,

I've mirrored the Katy Johnson essay that a Florida judge forced
Tucker Max to remove from his web site, as reported in yesterday's New
York Times.  My mirror is here:
