So this means that people from the UK can't access any whitepaper from bitcoin.org. That is terrible.
Yeah, it's because of CSW suing bitcoiners in the UK.
The person hosting the site got sued for hosting the whitepaper. However, that person wanted to stay anonymous and thus didn't want to show up in court.

Amazing that he managed to stay anonymous. Didn't know that was possible with domain names.

Not sure if he's as anonymous as Satoshi (probably not) but I think he didn't want to show his face in court to the general public; making him known to a lot more people than before.
