Shooting down 'Bandit Satellites'
by An Metet 12 Mar '01

12 Mar '01

[Sorry about the name. "Pirate" satellites don't sound 'dangerous' enough to need shooting down.] Suppose can-sats WERE launched illegally, and then started broadcasting <time synchronisation signals/OTP/other cypherpunk related> signals, along with a spoken commentary by Radio Free North America (so Joe Sixpack has an excuse when those nice detector van gentlemen knock on his door and ask why he's listening to 128.0 FM) What could a the US Government do about the satellite, other than make an example out of the miscreants who launched it? Would they be able to physically shoot at it, jam its signal or burn out its electronics from the ground or aircraft altitude? Could someone put up enough disposable 'bandit-sats' (expecting to make less orbits than Sputnik) over time to make it uneconomical to keep shooting them out of the sky? How easy would it be for the launch crew to stay ahead of ground based forces? I'm guessing they could mount rockets one to two months ahead of launch date and abandon the site, assuming the rockets don't need constant attention. Would directional transmissions from ground to satellite be traceable (and would this depend on whether there are other birds in the part of the sky I want to send to)? Would retrieval of a returned film capsule be possible before Air Force helicopters descended on the landing site? Cliff Secord. -- Sealand's latitude, and a map from the old Sealand pages at: <http://www.fruitsofthesea.demon.co.uk/sealand/factfile.html> Sealand is located in the southern part of the North Sea some six miles off the coast of Britain and from sixty-five to one hundred miles from the coasts of France, Belgium, Holland and Germany; Latitude 51.53 N, Longitude 01.28 E (see map). <http://www.fruitsofthesea.demon.co.uk/sealand/map.html>

Another archive question
by Jim Choate 11 Mar '01

11 Mar '01

Since an archive is intended for long-term consumption whereas a standard mailing list is more akin to a conversation (however public one might hold it to be) wouldn't an archivist run a higher risk of legal involvement with respect to 3rd party usage and illegal activity? Consider the levels of responsibility under current law for: Actor ^ Archive ^ Author > List Member (May be 'Actor') ____________________________________________________________________ Legislators and Judges are the pimps of modern American society.

A question about copyright and archival sites...
by Jim Choate 11 Mar '01

11 Mar '01

Who owns each posting that goes through the CDR? Standard Responce: Each individual author. Does this not mean that each individual author has full protection under the copyright law? Question: Doesn't this mean that if the author of a post archived, without specific permission mind you - implied by subscription perhaps, has the legal right to remove it from said archive? Question: Wouldn't a refusal mean an open violation of copyright law? ____________________________________________________________________ Legislators and Judges are the pimps of modern American society.
