Silk Road: the online drug marketplace that officials seem powerless to stop

Authorities around the world know about the website, but closing it is another matter – partly because it uses Bitcoins

Front page of their website :)

And actually a good article. Gov can't do shit, you can buy quality, you are more secure.
Includes the video with Amir Taaki

Yeah, thats the headline. The article is much better and of high quality with plenty of info for readers capable of "getting it"

The embedded video has plenty of anti banking, anti regulation and pro hacktivist coolness and honesty. It's actually a quite promotional Bitcoin video.
