It’s a sad day when speech is silenced because of fear. Obviously, you can’t blame LiveLeak for thinking of the safety of their employees, I would probably do the same. But in an honor based society, every time we submit, they win and their sense of rightness and privilege increases:

Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture.
We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.

I thought this might happen so I downloaded it. I haven’t gotten a chance to watch it yet (I spent the day with my daughters doing errands and getting our hair done 🙂 so I’m thankful for Real Audio’s ability to record videos for later viewing on my computer. LGF has the YouTube video but who knows how long that will be there (as of this post it still works).
