A swarm of leaks

I read an article the other day on the online version of the economist.com and it talks about new upcoming leaking sites. Basically what it talks about is that WikiLeaks may die but leaking will not. There is already another leaking site which is called Cryptome, which was founded by two New York architects with libertarian leanings. It is also mentioned that there will start a new website, which is not named yet, in Germany.

It is also said that the rivals of WikiLeaks differ in their approaches to technologie and their methods. WikiLeaks seeks donations. The owner of the Cryptome site finances his site with money of his own pocket and the owner of the german site has not said how he will finance this site.

It seems that the new pages will be bolder with the material they disclose.
Mr. Young, the owner of Cryptome has already posted more than 58, 000 files. And the german site wants to allow the leakers to decide how their documents will appear.

In the future such websites will multiply, because the technologie is on their side.

I think it will be very interesting in the future, because when there are a lot of leaking sites, there will not be a chance for the states to have any secrets.
