Can AOL silence its critics?

If America Online wants to shut down all of the Web sites lambasting its service, it will face a fairly daunting task -- the phrase "AOL Sucks" drags up 440 pages in one Hotbot search alone. But that doesn_t mean that AOL isn_t trying. Inside-AOL, a Web site for peeved AOL volunteers and members that vociferously criticized the practices of AOL, was shut down on Tuesday by its Internet service provider, Hypermart. The Inside-AOL staff says it received an e-mail from Hypermart informing it that the site_s service was being suspended due to its use of copyrighted AOL graphics -- namely, two screen-shots of the upcoming AOL 5.0 software. A related site at kenton.org, which also boasted AOL 5.0 screen-shots, and was also hosted by Hypermart, was similarly shut down.
