It has been suggested that EveryDNS’ justification for its decision to stop supporting the Wikileaks.org domain is little more than a technical and legalistic excuse to hide outside pressure. (Whether that pressure came from another customer, the US government, or another party altogether is immaterial to this point.) After all, so the argument goes, DDOS attacks and defense options against them are well documented, while EveryDNS’ referral to the former implies that it is not only incapable of defending against the attacks on Wikileaks, but against any attack.

Any comments on the plausibility of EveryDNS’ position?
