Groklaw, SCOFACTS.ORG, LWN.NET, and Yahoo, Inc. are and have violated a Federal Court Order sealing sensitive Court documents. Al Petrofsky, Groklaw, Yahoo, and LWN.net have participated in transporting and trafficking in sealed court documents and have transported these documents out of the United States and into the hands of Foreign Nationals and the enemies of the United States.
Assume, for the sake of argument that the factual allegations are true.
Does a sealing order (i.e., ordering court officials not to publish a file) imply a protective order (ordering other people not to publish a file)?
Is it relevant that the documents have been transported "out of the United States" (hence beyond the jurisdiction of the court)?
Is it relevant that the documents have been transported "into the hands of [] the enemies of the United States" given that the United States is not a party to this lawsuit?
