If we were all to back off every time a company, or government or any other
institutional organisation printed documents which indicate massive breaches
of law on a scale which staggers most people, because of a fear of
copyright, then the current world would be even darker than it is.
I stand by my decision to scan the document and upload it to Wikileaks, it
was of significant interest to the public and might help people to come
forward as witnesses for a criminal investigation. I also take sole
responsibility for the scanning and uploading of the document and if there
is any action against me as a result, so be it, I will take it on the chin.
