  Love seeing people stand up to bullies. Techdirt has been fighting the good fight for a very long time.

  The original Reuters story that was removed as a result of an Indian court ruling has been preserved by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a link to which can be found in the article.

  The Streisand Effect is in full force alright: I never even heard of "Appin" until this thread.

  Hey TechDirt! What's the point of making a image of text to embed in your site? Its text becomes blurry and hard to read compared to using an actual font. What a horrible decisions for legibility.

  But seriously, what's the thought process for a website to do this? Even embedded tweets are not pre-rendered images. Some one in some meeting decided that using a rasterized image would be awesomesauce. What kind of sick people were involved?
