ap in action (/. story)
by Tom 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

seems someone put AP into action - and it worked quite well, exactly as jim predicted, and even without crypto (though without rewards either). see http://slashdot.org/yro/01/03/28/2130219.shtml in short: an anti-abortionist website published names and addresses of doctors who made abortions, then cheered whenever one of them was killed. circuit judge wrote: "[...] if their [works] merely encouraged unrelated terrorists, then their words are protected by the First Amendment." I wonder if he'd had the same if the website had listed targets from the political arena. or judges. -- -- http://www.lemuria.org -- http://www.Nexus-Project.net --

after an initial (only half-serious) idea posted by me to the dvd-discuss mailing list, someone actually created a program to create secret keys that result in your public key being a compressed version of decss. ----- Forwarded message from Harold Eaton <haceaton(a)hotmail.com> -----

In my (small) town, there are no video cameras in the PO. I've looked for them, carefully and repeatedly. (The notion that my town PO would have concealed cameras while big city POs expose them is for the clinically paranoid) Traceback is limited by the memory of the two overworked (at least on Saturday morning) ladies who woman the front desk.

Set up an account (U=armadillo, P=roadkill), then put some cash in a privacy envelope along with a note saying 'This is for armadillo's account'. (Now Jim, don't raise the spectre of handwriting or typewriter recognition - I think that's too silly even for you - can you cite a single case where a (B&W) laser or inkjet printed document was identified as coming from a particular well-maintained printer, as opposed to a typewriter? (I didn't think so)). If you're still worried, get a trusted friend (if you have any) to write the address. What receipt? Sending cash to anonymizer.com relies on something called trust (which I realize is a foreign concept to you). If they scam you, you won't send them cash again. Cash goes through the mail all the time, especially around Christmas. While a few 'cash sniffing dogs' do exist, the notion that domestic first class mail is routinely checked for small quantities of perfectly legal cash is another sign of clinical paranoia (or of someone who realizes he's backed into a corner and is resorting to heroic measures rather than admit defeat in an argument).

Encouraging Terrorists is Legal
by Eric Cordian 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

A US Federal Appeals Court has tossed out the $109 million verdict against anti-abortion activists who ran a website called "The Nuremberg Files", which listed the personal information of abortion doctors, and cheered whenever one of them was killed. The Judge opined that as long as the defendants didn't threaten to commit violent acts, working alone or with others, that their conduct constituted protected First Amendment Free Speech. Specifically, speech which only "encourages unrelated terrorists" is First Amendment protected. Now what was it Jim Bell threatened to do with those pigfucker names and addresses again? -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
