Tracking Down the Rui'an Blogs

Some of the videos have been tracked down at Danwei, especially at the PhotoBucket site.

Here I am interested in the primary blog sites, specifically with respect to how the bloggers position their content.

Originally, the best source was run by Jewel at Bingfang.com (URL: http://www.bingfang.com/article.asp?id=1482 ).  Here is the screen capture of her blog.

Here are the important points from the above in translation:

• I have collected the important forum posts, the reports from various newspapers, a large number of photographs, television news clips and netizen comments.  I welcome netizens to pay tribute, remember and discuss.  I ask when netizens comment that they respect the facts of the case and the soul of the deceased.  Do not exaggerate and distort.  Do not smear maliciously.  Do not attack any organization or individual.  Please pay attention to the deveopments of the case in an objective manner.
• Attacks on the government and rumor mongering are strictly forbidden.  If things get out of control, this website reserves the right to shut down and discontinue the right to discuss this case!
• All members should obey the regulations concerning a civilized Internet.
• Any tributes, rememberances and discussions are appreciated and supported by this website.
• But this website will absolutely not permit any attacks on the party and the government, and it will absolutely forbid the dissemination of rumors.  Any ID which delivers such speeches will be banned and investigated.
• If things get bad, this website does not exclude the possiblity of closing this post and stop all discussion.  You must understand this, and we thank you for your cooperation.
• Since I am not a principal involved in the affair, this post was purely provided for netizens to comment.  This is not directed atainst the government nor is it smearing or deceiving anyone.
• ...
• The contents here must not be privately re-published or distributed by any website or individual.  Thank you for your cooperation.  This website reserves the right to pursue those responsible for such activities.

Since then, the contents of the blog have been made into an intranet that was accessible only to Bingfang.com members.  Even so, the comments are still viewable by the general public.  Here is one:

Translation: Post those video clips and photographs onto international websites and let the world see the so-called democracy in China.  Kill the corrupt officials, eradicate the rich bullies and let the victims have a bright and clear day!

Next comes the blog Doraemon at URL: www.doraemon.cn/?id=165 (note: this can only be seen through the Google cache http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache:ZvYrMD0ezu4J:www.doraemon.cn/%3Fid%3D165+%E6%88%B4%E6%B5%B7%E9%9D%99).

Here is the translation of the description of the letters in red: "When people make comments, please be careful and don't get my blog blocked again.  I would be very grateful!"  And then it explains that the ensuing content was copied from Jewel's Bingfang blog.  Thus, in accordance with the notice on Jewel's blog, this action constitutes a copyright violation.  But that is a moot point now, because the Doraemon page is no longer accessible.  Clicking on the home page of the domain doraemon.cn itself yields this message:

Translation: "Hello, I'm sorry that my blog has been shut again because the supervisory department identified "Topic: Rui'an Middle School Number 3 teacher Dai Haijing fell to her death; 1,000 students went into the streets to march" (www.doraemon.cn/article.asp?id=165&page=2) as illegal information.  The server was shut down and I was asked to delete the content and then the website can re-open.  I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused you."
