What is the significance of this post? It has no context or explanation and I'm at a loss as to what this is about, or why it is significant. It's akin to a magic number in a script; without at least a brief comment it's all but meaningless!

another article mentioned that lavabit had complied with a child porn request. so i guess it's related to that (the first doc mentions child porn). as to why it's significant. first, cryptome doesn't really filter stuff, so they aren't "endorsing" it. someone submitted it to cryptome. perhaps they thought it was related to the recent closure (at first glance, it doesn't seem to be). here you go: Court records show that, in June, Lavabit complied with a routine search warrant targeting a child pornography suspect in a federal case in Maryland. That suggests that Levison isn’t a privacy absolutist. Whatever compelled him to shut down now must have been exceptional. from http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/08/lavabit-snowden/ http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/08/lavabit-snowden/

I think it gives a reason for why the Feds went after lavabit.com and the reason being CP.

"Lavabit abruptly shuts down" [0] The original poster believes that this case is apparently the reason for Lavabit shutting down. The issue as hand is that a proper search warrant has been issued for the email address in the title. Lavabit appears to have chosen to shut down rather than respond to the search warrant (or has responded to the search warrant, but chosen to shut down rather than have it happen again) [0] - http://lavabit.com/ http://lavabit.com/

  The warrant shown on Cryptome is from an earlier case in which Lavabit complied. Lavabit has received something much different in this current case, which is what led to the shut down.

    Indeed. I missed the section where it showed that the warrant was executed, and "One Memorex DVD" was retrieved.
