The DMCA may be bad, but it's not *that* bad. It contains a broad prohibition against circumvention ("No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access") and then has a bunch of exceptions. One of those -- and you can thank groups like ACM for this, if my legislative memory is correct -- explicitly permits encryption research. You can argue fairly persuasively that it's not broad enough, and certainly 2600 found in the DeCSS case that the judge wasn't convinced by their arguments, but at least it's a shield of sorts. See below. -Declan PS: Some background on Sklyarov case: http://www.politechbot.com/cgi-bin/politech.cgi?name=sklyarov PPS: Note you only get the exemption if you make "a good faith effort to obtain authorization before the circumvention." Gotta love Congress, eh? http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c105:H.R.2281.ENR: `(g) ENCRYPTION RESEARCH- `(1) DEFINITIONS- For purposes of this subsection-- `(A) the term `encryption research' means activities necessary to identify and analyze flaws and vulnerabilities of encryption technologies applied to copyrighted works, if these activities are conducted to advance the state of knowledge in the field of encryption technology or to assist in the development of encryption products; and `(B) the term `encryption technology' means the scrambling and descrambling of information using mathematical formulas or algorithms. `(2) PERMISSIBLE ACTS OF ENCRYPTION RESEARCH- Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)(1)(A), it is not a violation of that subsection for a person to circumvent a technological measure as applied to a copy, phonorecord, performance, or display of a published work in the course of an act of good faith encryption research if-- `(A) the person lawfully obtained the encrypted copy, phonorecord, performance, or display of the published work; `(B) such act is necessary to conduct such encryption research; `(C) the person made a good faith effort to obtain authorization before the circumvention; and `(D) such act does not constitute infringement under this title or a violation of applicable law other than this section, including section 1030 of title 18 and those provisions of title 18 amended by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. `(3) FACTORS IN DETERMINING EXEMPTION- In determining whether a person qualifies for the exemption under paragraph (2), the factors to be considered shall include-- `(A) whether the information derived from the encryption research was disseminated, and if so, whether it was disseminated in a manner reasonably calculated to advance the state of knowledge or development of encryption technology, versus whether it was disseminated in a manner that facilitates infringement under this title or a violation of applicable law other than this section, including a violation of privacy or breach of security; `(B) whether the person is engaged in a legitimate course of study, is employed, or is appropriately trained or experienced, in the field of encryption technology; and `(C) whether the person provides the copyright owner of the work to which the technological measure is applied with notice of the findings and documentation of the research, and the time when such notice is provided. `(4) USE OF TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS FOR RESEARCH ACTIVITIES- Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)(2), it is not a violation of that subsection for a person to-- `(A) develop and employ technological means to circumvent a technological measure for the sole purpose of that person performing the acts of good faith encryption research described in paragraph (2); and `(B) provide the technological means to another person with whom he or she is working collaboratively for the purpose of conducting the acts of good faith encryption research described in paragraph (2) or for the purpose of having that other person verify his or her acts of good faith encryption research described in paragraph (2).

[Stockupticks.com] [Image] [Image] Welcome to Stockupticks.com Newsletter Issue 9 -July 27, 2001 [Image] [Image][Image] [Image] [Image] *** BREAKING NEWS *** ***BREAKING[Image] NEWS*** [Image] In response to investors requesting that more of our coverage come after the market closes, we are providing this Breaking News, which gives our members maximum time to review this company and respond. StockUpTicks endeavors to bring you information about under-followed companies that may be of particular interest to investors in "discovery" and emerging growth stocks. Touchstone Resources Ltd. (TUT.V) based in Houston, Texas, is an aggressive oil and gas exploration company targeting high-potential assets through a focused strategy of utilizing industry relationships, world class contract consultants and the most modern industry technologies. [Image] Touchstone announced today that an open-hole drill-stem test in the Devonian formation in Winkler County, Texas by Schlumberger produced a calculated rate of 2,400 barrels a day on Touchstone's Wink project field. "This is a significant, high-impact discovery," said EVP Wes Franklin. During the weekend ahead, Touchstone will further evaluate production output by open-hole testing in the Devonian. Investors should bookmark the stock and watch for news early this week on the test results. [Image] *** BREAKING NEWS *** ***BREAKING[Image] NEWS*** Editor's note: This release was issued after market meaning that no one, as yet, has been able to react. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 27, 2001 WINK PROSPECT DEVONIAN PRODUCTION TESTING Touchstone Resources USA, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Wink prospect, Morton/Halley 23/24#1, which is located in Winkler County, Texas, is currently being evaluated by open-hole testing in the Devonian formation at approximately 14,000 feet. The Morton/Halley 23/24#1 was drilled to a total depth of 17,636 feet. After evaluating the deeper Ellenburger formation, the Company has commenced a plug-back operation to the Devonian. The Devonian was open-hole drilled drill-stem tested by Schlumberger at a calculated rate of 2,400 barrels of oil per a day (BOPD). A production facility has already been installed at this location and production is scheduled to start on August 1, 2001. Wes Franklin, Executive Vice President for Touchstone Resources, states The Company is very excited with this discovery in the Devonian. This is a very significant high impact discovery, which enhances the real value of our development in the Wink prospect. The size of this discovery could be quite large by todays on-shore U.S. standards. We anticipate continued success in other wells in this region. Mr. Franklin further states, The Morton 23 #3 is drilling over 10,000 feet on its way to a proposed total depth of 15,000 feet. The well is a Devonian delineation/development well down-dipped from the Morton/Halley 23/24 #1 and will provide an indication of the size of the Devonian reservoir. The Company is also pleased to announce that an additional field discovery has been made at the Wink project. The Morton 11 #2 was deepened to 11,000 feet and is currently testing the Devonian chert at approximately 10,700 feet. Mr. Franklin added, the Devonian here is in a separate fault block 2 miles north of the Morton/Halley 23/24 #1, which is testing the same formation 3,000 feet deeper. The Morton 11 #2 well has tested at a daily rate of 1.2 million cubic feet of gas per day (MMCFGPD) and 4 BOPD. Following bottom hole pressure testing, the well will be placed on production immediately.

============================================================== [Electronic Privacy Information Center] July 26, 2001 Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Chairman Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Ranking Member Senate Judiciary Committee United States Senate 224 Dirksen Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Nomination of Robert S. Mueller Dear Chairman Leahy, Senator Hatch and Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee: As the Committee prepares to consider the nomination of Robert S. Mueller to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), we are writing to urge the Committee to include privacy protection and compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in its inquiry. As we set forth below, these issues include FBI use of new surveillance and investigative technologies, including the Carnivore system; FBI access to personal information contained in private sector databases; and full and timely compliance with the disclosure requirements of the FOIA. New Technologies Given the increased public concern over the use of new and potentially invasive technologies by law enforcement agencies, it would be appropriate to solicit Mr. Mueller's views on this issue. While the FBI's use of the Carnivore Internet surveillance system properly has been the subject of much public discussion, other technologies increasingly are being employed by the FBI and the law enforcement community. These include video surveillance systems, sophisticated imaging devices and a wide range of biometric applications such as facial recognition and retinal scans. As the Supreme Court recently recognized in Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. ____ (2001), "[i]t would be foolish to contend that the degree of privacy secured to citizens by the Fourth Amendment has been entirely unaffected by the advance of technology." When law enforcement employs invasive technology that is not in "general public use," it must do so in a manner that "assures preservation of that degree of privacy against government that existed when the Fourth Amendment was adopted." In light of the Kyllo decision, we believe it is imperative that Mr. Mueller address this issue, which he will clearly confront as Director of the FBI. With respect to the Carnivore system (now designated within the Bureau as DCS 1000), many questions remain unanswered since the FBI's use of the system came to light over a year ago. Through our pending FOIA litigation concerning Carnivore, it appears that neither the FBI nor the Justice Department conducted an analysis of the legality or constitutionality of the surveillance technique prior to its deployment. Despite the fact that the independent technical review team retained by the Justice Department recommended modifications to Carnivore last December, those changes have not yet been implemented. In addition to the recommendations of the technical review team, EPIC and other privacy groups have urged Attorney General Ashcroft to cure Carnivore's fundamental constitutional defect by placing the system in the control of the relevant Internet service provider rather than the FBI. While the Attorney General recently announced that a new review of Carnivore is now underway, we believe that Mr. Mueller's views on this matter should be explored. Access to Private Sector Databases One of the most troubling law enforcement developments to arise in recent years is the increased reliance of investigative agencies on personal information contained in databases compiled by the private sector. Through their access to these systems, the FBI and other agencies routinely obtain a vast range of personal data, the direct collection of which would appear to be prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974. As the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year, private data vendors "specialize in doing what the law discourages the government from doing on its own -- culling, sorting and packaging data on individuals from scores of sources, including credit bureaus, marketers and regulatory agencies." (See attached article). One such company, ChoicePoint, Inc., has a particularly close relationship with the FBI. The company maintains a specialized website, "ChoicePoint Online for the FBI" (www.cpfbi.com) to process data queries from the Bureau. Last year, the Justice Department's contract with the company reportedly grew to $8 million. We urge the Committee to seek Mr. Mueller's opinions on the propriety of such arrangements. FOIA Compliance As frequent users of the Freedom of Information Act, we have a particular interest in Mr. Mueller's familiarity with and commitment to the Act's disclosure requirements. The FBI's problems with FOIA compliance are legendary, and it is not at all uncommon for information requests to languish at the Bureau for many years. The FBI's resistance to public disclosure and oversight appears to be deeply ingrained. Norman J. Rabkin of the General Accounting Office recently testified before this Committee concerning the GAO's experience with the Bureau. While over time we have experienced access-to-records problems at different federal agencies, our experience at the FBI is by far our most contentious among law enforcement agencies. The FBI's reluctance to consistently honor our statutory rights of access has forced us to expend significant energy and resources. The FBI has also limited our ability to respond to our clients -- congressional committees and individual Members of Congress -- in a timely and efficient way. Prepared Statement of Norman J. Rabkin, General Accounting Office, Before the Senate Judiciary Committee, June 20, 2001. When the GAO has such problems, the Committee can well imagine the difficulty that average citizens, journalists and public interest organizations encounter when attempting to utilize FOIA's access provisions to learn about FBI activities. As Director of the Bureau, Mr. Mueller would be uniquely situated to remedy this chronic deficiency. We strongly urge the Committee to elicit a commitment from Mr. Mueller to address this issue quickly and decisively. We appreciate your consideration of the foregoing suggestions and would be pleased to assist the Committee in its ongoing oversight of the FBI. Sincerely, Marc Rotenberg David L.

In addition people looking for AP maps and technical info can also try: http://www.personaltelco.net By agreement among some of the local groups around the country this site is supposed to act as a clearing house for the different groups. It has a fairly good section with AP maps for different areas. http://nocat.net This is the Sonoma County group. I beleive some of the people involved work at O'Reilly so they have emphasized writing technical papers many of which are posted on the site, including the amazingly wonderful Pringles Potato Chip can antenna (be sure to throw the chips outs, don't eat them they taste like cardboard).
