WikiLeaks Donations By Visa Ruled OK In Iceland 55
angry tapir writes "The three-year blockade against donations to WikiLeaks may have just been chiseled away, in Iceland, by a ruling handed down by the European country's Supreme Court. The verdict says that the Visa subcontractor Valitor had unlawfully terminated its contract with WikiLeaks' donation processor, DataCell, and must re-open the processing of donations to the whistle-blowing site within 15 days or else face a fine of ISK800,000, or US$6,830, per day."

800k ISK? Man, that's pocket change. Go shoot belt rats for a few minutes and you'll make that back easy.
Where's "Europe" anyhow? Can't find it on the map. Sounds like it should be part of Gallente space, though...
