Hmm, from [1]:

> US authorities issued a federal order to Rackspace’s office in the US ... Indymedia’s hardware located in London ... Rackspace complied, without first notifying Indymedia, and turned over Indymedia’s server in the UK

So is the main difference here just that Microsoft was not willing to just immediately comply with the order from the US government? Or are there additional differences as well?
