UBERMORGEN.COM’s "Injunction Generator" (2001) automatically generates mass injunctions which are used as a weapon against critical websites, or as a means to cash in on lawyer charges because of alleged trademark infringement, breaches against imprint duty or personality rights. Ubermorgen writes: »is there any web-site you wanna take off the web using a highly subversive method? on our server, you auto-generate an "INJUNCTION" [.pdf/.rtf format], a standard court-order, claiming the target-website to operate on an illegal basis. this document will then be sent to the appropriate dns-registrar [dns=domain name service], to the owner of the website and possibly to some journalists for legal and public processing. all you have to do is to simply fill out a form and send it off, it will take you not more than 15 minutes. if the website is taken down we will inform you via email." runme.org
