Myspace bans McKinnon as latest deadline looms-why have they done this??!!
Top tune hacked

PENTAGON HACKER Gary McKinnon received a double blow yesterday when Myspace took down his music video and the UK's High Court refused his application for a judicial review.

Gary's music video, Only a Fool, had stormed the Myspace video charts, reaching number three the last time we checked, not three days after it was posted.

His application for a judicial review had sought to prevent his extradition on the grounds that it would be cruel to send him, as a sufferer of Asperger's Syndrome, to a US jail. The government should secure him the right to serve time in a British prison if he was found guilty in a US court, said the application.
Janice Sharp, Gary's Mum and lead campaigner, said that Myspace had removed his video because it was being used to promote his campaign.

She said the High Court had given Gary until 5 December to apply for an oral judicial review. The High Court's refusal yesterday had been for a written review. This may be his last recourse.

Myspace was unable to explain what had happened to the video. But The INQUIRER understands that the video was pulled by someone in the US without explanation.
