Marek sez, “In recent days, people in Poland have flooded the internet in search of the Wildstein’s List, a list of 240,000 names of communist-era spys, informers and secret service agents that was secretly copied from The National Rememberance Institute (IPN) by a conservative journalist, Bronislaw Wildstein.
“The list instantly cropped up on many web sites, p2p networks, became available via BitTorrent, while the the term ‘lista Wildsteina’ (Wildstein’s list) became a super-popular query at all Polish search engines. At one (onet.pl, the second most popular after google), people searched for it around 300,000 times a day comparing to just only 9,000 searches for ‘sex’, the former top query.”
