	I admitedly don't know the bureaucratic details. Yes,
	jurisdiction shopping isn't ther right term, my bad.  But
	ultimately the case might end up in the so called supreme
	court? 

	Anyway, has the government come up with any story as to how
	they found the server? Is it the usual tale : we can't find
	hidden services because tor is so great, so we easily
	hacked the server since the admins are retarded and were
	running php 1.3?
