The Cypherpunk Revolutionary Julian Assange
S'il fallait une preuve supplémentaire que Wikileaks est aujourd'hui dépassé voire dévoré par l'image de son créateur, en voici une nouvelle. Julian Assange a déposé auprès du Bureau de la Propriété Intellectuelle britannique une demande de marque commerciale sur les termes "Julian Assange". Sa demande qui vise à obtenir le monopole d'exploitation lucrative de son nom a été déposée le 14 février, jour de la Saint Valentin, et sera officiellement publiée le 4 mars pour ouvrir le délai légal d'opposition.

A recently published book excerpt suggests that “Jay Lim,” an occasional WikiLeaks spokesperson often identified as its legal advisor, was merely an online pseudonym of Julian Assange. The excerpts, posted on cryptome.org , are (naturally) leaked scans of an early copy of WikiLeaks’s defector Daniel Domscheit-Berg’s upcoming book. Domscheit-Berg, before his break with the organization, had long operated under the pseudonym of “Daniel Schmidt.” Domscheit-Berg, usually described as once being the organization’s second most important player, writes that Assange used many pseudonyms, and suggests that “Lim” may have been one of them:
Did Assange Play Lawyer?
Un Julian Assange menteur, paranoïaque et égoïste : les premiers extraits du livre Inside WikiLeaks , publiés notamment par Cryptome , dressent un portrait peu amène du cofondateur du site spécialisé dans la publication de documents confidentiels. Ecrit par Daniel Dommscheit-Berg, l'ancien porte-parole de WikiLeaks pour l' Allemagne , le livre relate les débuts de l'organisation, jusqu'à la brouille définitive entre Assange et Domscheit-Berg.

WikiLeaks and Julian Assange
The house on Grettisgata Street, in Reykjavik, is a century old, small and white, situated just a few streets from the North Atlantic. The shifting northerly winds can suddenly bring ice and snow to the city, even in springtime, and when they do a certain kind of silence sets in. This was the case on the morning of March 30th, when a tall Australian man named Julian Paul Assange, with gray eyes and a mop of silver-white hair, arrived to rent the place. Assange was dressed in a gray full-body snowsuit, and he had with him a small entourage. “We are journalists,” he told the owner of the house. Eyjafjallajökull had recently begun erupting, and he said, “We’re here to write about the volcano.”
