spam & new user

Hello, dear cypherpunks! I subscribed to this mailing list after having read the "Cryptonomicon" novel by Neal Stephenson (which some of you may be familiar with). I've read that this mailing list audience is supposedly similar to the "Secret Admirers" list depicted in the book. While subscribing I've been warned that this is a high volume list. So, I've been on the list for 3 days now. All I got is 3 spams (one in a language I don't understand but suspect to be either Spanish or Portuguese) and a single request for help with a single response. Now, my question is, is this a typical phenomenon or are all cypherpunks happen to be on holidays these days? (Correction, it's 4 spams now. Seems to be high volume indeeed). And, while at it, a question on topic: does anyone here has any idea about how widespread the secure e-mail is? By secure e-mail I mean: 1. SSL over IMAP/POP/SMTP 2. S/MIME vs. PGP 3. All kinds of web based secure e-mail systems, such as hushmail. How much is this all "power user" stuff, do the "regular people" use these communication means? -- Dmitry Rubinstein

Re: Weird message from someone named "NIPC"
by John Ashcroft's Persecuting Penis 26 Jul '01

Tim May forwarded SirCam output: # # Michael Vatis, deputy assistant director and chief of the Federal # Bureau of Investigation's National Infrastructure Protection Center # (NIPC) created February 26, 1998, told the Senate Judiciary # Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Government Information June # 29 that 'crypto anarchists" see Washington's computers as "the final # exam, the ultimate challenge, the enemy which must be destroyed." # Agents are advised to seek out means of forcing these persons out of # the public debate. Declan the Wired Reporter wrote: # # Now that I've actually read through some of # what Tim posted, I think it's clear what it is. # # Hint: Vatis wasn't in charge of NIPC by June 29 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Declan, this IS REAL STUFF. June 1998 !!! http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/12915.html # # US' 'Soft, Digital Underbelly' # Reuters # # 1:10pm 11.Jun.98.PDT # # WASHINGTON -- The head of a new US cyber law-enforcement agency # says a half dozen substantial attacks have been launched against # government computer systems since February. # # "A good percentage of the incidents we see ... involve [the # Department of Defense], because DOD is such a prime target for # even individual hackers who want to test their skills," said # Michael Vatis, the chief of the National Infrastructure Protection # Center of the FBI. "They see the Department of Defense as the # big banana, the final exam, the ultimate challenge to test their # skills." The casual (or otherwise) surveillance of cypherpunk traffic has now backfired in conjunction with this virus-trojan! What wonderful things did Tim May get and flush, not knowing the potential??? Tim, quick send Declan, JYA, and me a text extract! HOT DAMN!!! # Agents are advised to seek out means of forcing # these persons out of the public debate FUCKING FEDS!!! # The take-down is being planned for maximal public impact, # as per AG Ashcroft's memo of 24JUN01. Let them have it with both barrels, Declan!

Rep. Boucher says he wants to "Free Dmitry" and amend DMCA
by Declan McCullagh 26 Jul '01

http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,45548,00.html Rep: Give Fair Use a Fair Shake By Declan McCullagh (declan(a)wired.com) 12:55 p.m. July 25, 2001 PDT WASHINGTON -- Rep. Rick Boucher wants to spring a Russian programmer from jail. Boucher, a maverick Virginia Democrat, is hoping to rewrite a federal law that led FBI agents to arrest Dmitry Sklyarov in Las Vegas, Nevada, last week on copyright felony charges. "It's a broad overreach to have a person arrested under the federal criminal laws simply because they made software that circumvents a technological measure," Boucher said. Boucher said his office will draft a bill to be introduced later this year. The criminal law in question is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which was obscure enough when Congress enacted it in 1998, but has emerged as the one of the most important and far-reaching technology regulations. Sklyarov is charged with trafficking in a program to bypass Adobe's copy protection for e-books, a federal felony under the DMCA. "I think the current case adds impetus to the growing effort to fashion an amendment to the DMCA that would restore the classic balance (of fair use rights)," Boucher said. That promises to be anything but a trivial task. Leaders of the House and Senate subcommittees that oversee copyright law said Tuesday that they would not consider any changes to the DMCA. [...]
