I doubt it. The reason they are going after the law firm is because
they traced the IP number there. They have noted that the Safe Harbor
provisions apply to Wikipedia, so I would expect that that should also
be the case with the mirrors. It looks like a pretty dumb-ass case for
Zoeller to pursue, but if he's stupid enough to carry through the
judge's decision will make interesting reading.
