A view of the road from the other side of the ditch.
It is looking more and more to me as though Europe has finally adopted one more American marketing tactic.
You've got to admit, when it comes to putting together effective marketing gimmicks, American Televangelists have pretty much defined the methodology over the past 40 years.

So, Julian Assange figured this out, but with a twist. Instead of preying on millions of people who want to believe in God, he's found a new cult of followers and has managed to create an entirely new cottage industry in Europe.
Hactivism...
The Internet Whistle Blower industry.
Like any good televangelist, one must define good and evil, and in the world of internet whistle blowing, good is anybody who admires a good dose of posturing mingled with anarchy. Evil can be defined as anything American.
So, now we see the beginning of the new industry. WikiLeaks now has a competitor, OpenLeaks. And there is Brussels Leaks.

American Entrepeneur, PT Barnum (Of Barnum & Bailey Circus Fame) was once quoted as saying.

Which means there will always be a way for con men to make a buck.
Congratulations Europe. You're becoming more American every day.
