Reflections on a Campaign so far: SPCK nearly Weekly
It is a little over a month since Cease and Desist notices were sent to a series of bloggers.
I want to look back on what has been achieved - in both concrete terms and "soft" terms.
You can get up to speed by reading my "Introductory Guide", or the list of people posting in support, or even the Press Room:
Dave Walker is a cartoonist who runs a popular website, which includes the blogs We Blog Cartoons, Cartoon Church and The Cartoon Blog.
On the morning of July 22nd 2008 he received a cease and desist letter threatening legal action unless he removed 75 posts from his Cartoon Church blog by lunchtime - i.e., half a day’s notice.
These 75 posts had reported the developing situation over a 2 year period in a UK book chain called SPCK, which had been taken over by a company run by Mark Brewer. Dave Walker’s was the main published source reporting the situation, asking questions about the management of the chain, and highlighting the treatment of the employees.
So, what has happened?
