FBI Gives Back Seized Servers

Linux News: Legal: FBI Gives Back Seized Servers

The UK-based servers of media company Indymedia have been returned to the London data center of hosting firm Rackspace.

But Indymedia is still none the wiser about why the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized them in the first place.

It had been using the seized servers to run independent news sites and radio streams dedicated to social activist groups, as well as open-source projects, from all over the world. Data and services in 17 countries were affected.
