IGS may get their equipment back a year or two down the road after the case went through the Court, the appeals etc.. By then IGS would be out of business and bankrupt from all the legal costs. In Canada we don't have the First Ammendment, there is no freedom of speech as much as you and the EFC like to believe. The Courts have put gag orders on trials, there is a hate law and other precedents. IGS rather to than to become a martyr for the EFC chose to exercise their rights under the AUP, and pull the page. They did check with their lawyers and decided it would be the prudient thing to do.
