The best way to defeat Associated Newspapers legal threats to the sites carrying copies of the spoof Metr0 PDF is for lots more site to carry it.

Download the PDF and upload it everywhere!

On 2nd July 2010 tens of thousands of copies of a spoof newspaper that looked very similar to The Metro, a free daily, were distributed at 20 busy tube stations around the London during rush hour. Thousands more were distributed in other cities around the UK.  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/07/454790.html

On 4th July 2010 The Metro obtained a High Court injunction against "all persons responsible for the publication and/or distribution" of a Metro spoof paper that was distributed by campaigners at London tube stations on Friday morning.  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/07/454790.html

The Guardian have now picked up on the story,  http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2010/jul/05/metro-medialaw

The outcome of todays court hearing, which appears to have included demands by Associated Newspapers for Indymedia to remove the spoof paper will be known later today.
