ACTIVIST NETWORK IN NY EVICTED FROM INTERNET BY DOW, VERIO Because of a bit of web detournement by RTMark, its host, Thing.net, is losing its connectivity. Thing.net's upline provider, Verio, got a DMCA notice from Dow Chemical in reference to a political parody site an RTMark group called The Yes Men set up. The site, similar to this one at dowethics.com, was designed to look like an authentic Dow site but contained content critical of the Union Carbide and Dow handling of the 1984 Bhopal disaster. (There's also an article about the controversy in the New York Times.) Found on Weblogsky
