[Rumori] Anyone in a position to help thing.net?

[Rick Prelinger]

Just got a call from an acquaintance who works with thing.net, an ISP 
in NY that's been a primary provider for artists' websites and some 
activist organizations for quite some time.  They host RTmark and a 
few other very cool projects.  Verio has yanked their connectivity 
because of a DMCA complaint from Dow Chemical over a a parody ad 
about Dow's accident in Bhopal, India, a long time ago.  They're 
looking for a temporary host and temporary connectivity until they 
can make new arrangements.

This is a "chilling effects" story that's been going on since the 
beginning of the year and has gotten some publicity -- I found a URL 
or two about it.  Is anyone in a position to help them?

Thanks
Rick
