Jason Calacanis commenting on WikiLeaks via Mahalo.com

I decided to cancel my Audible.com subscription today after Jason Calacanis was looking for a book recommendation on Mahalo.com (of which I do answer questions on the site from time to time). Jason seeking a recommendation was not the reason to cancel the account. He is a huge lover of Audible and one of the reasons that I started using the service when he was featured on Leo Laporte's TWiT network on the This Week in Tech show. His involvement with Leo's radio style of pitching a commercial worked great.

Upon going to Audible to see what books credits I had available, I remembered that Audible is an Amazon company (also stated right below their logo, which was helpful). Amazon hosted the Wikileaks webserver and decided to take it down here recently. This was the reason for me to cancel my account. I do believe in the free flow of information and believe that no one owns information. The images below are from this Mahalo.com thread.
