I think that it poses serious questions about anonymity and cryptography and their uses, therefore it is a viable topic. Just rm it if you don't want to read about it. lunaslide On the meridian of time there is no injustice, only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama.

Free Speech Mirrors hit Toronto Star
by Tim Philp 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

96/02/08 Canada's largest newspaper, The Toronto Star today published an account of the Ernst Zundel affair in the Fast Forward Section of the paper. Net columnist K. K. Campbell, in what looks like a 1500 word article, (I didn't count them) gives a good account of the German attempt to censor the Internet. He even mentions the fact that the MIT mirror was ordered removed, but gives no details. He goes on to take a shot at other attempts at censorship like the Church of Scientology lawsuits and the disaster that ensued attempting to keep these documents secret. Finally, he talks about the frustration of Canadian Interneters who continually have to listen to US netters saying that the US would never pass hate speech legislation like Canada has. He points out that while this has been true, the US has an "odious record" when it comes to protecting the rights of people to talk privately. Now it seems that the US has joined Canada with restrictive speech laws with the new telecommunications bill. Campbell uses the example of removing the Web site containing the King James Bible because it has the word "PISS" (II Kings) which has been ruled indecent by the US Supreme Court! The last couple of paragraphs talk about the EFF blue ribbon campaign and the Web page black background. Al in all a good article. Sometimes even journalists get it right <G> Regards, Tim Philp =================================== For PGP Public Key, Send E-mail to: pgp-public-keys(a)swissnet.ai.mit.edu In Subject line type: GET PHILP ===================================

Article on CAs in WebWeek
by olbon＠dynetics.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

An article on the front page of WebWeek this week discusses digital signatures and CAs. The best point made was that a small company could undercut (pricewise) the post office as a CA. Overall it seemed a pretty fair article. It mentioned UC Berkeley researchers "spoofing" a Netscape server's identity and sending false data to the client. This was news to me, I am curious as to how this was done. The paper article also listed as a "resource on the net" the URL for Tim May's cyphernomicon. Here's the link. Enjoy.

COPYRIGHT: Skeleton Bill
by James M. Cobb 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Friend, 02 08 96 Associated Press newsstory datelined Washington, headlined COPYRIGHT VIOLATORS SHOULD FACE CRIMINAL PENALTIES reports: The House Judiciary Committee's panel on courts and intellectual property is considering legislation...to clarify copyright law for electronic information. Panel = subcommittee. Its chairman is Carlos Moorhead, R-CA. He says the legislation [is] a "skeleton bill" which "We want to make sure we get...into law this session." The skeleton of the skeleton law = "recommendations by the Clinton ad- ministration." Moorehead also says: " We don't want to put so much meat on the skeleton that it dies of obesity." Testifying before the subcommitte were the Motion Picture Association of America's Valenti and Broadcast Music Inc's Preston who "agreed that the legislation should be passed quickly." Preston and Valenti rejected a proposal by Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., to exempt on-line service providers from copyright infringement liability.... So there goes cheap access to the 'Net. That's what "We don't want to put so much meat on the skeleton that it dies of obesity" MEANS! Cordially, Jim NOTE. The newsstory's www.nando.net online filename is: info7_24355.html This critical essay was composed 02 08 96.

RSA-China Cypto-Porn Distribution ?
by A. Padgett Peterson, P.E. Information Security 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

> Wall Street Journal, February 8, 1996, p. A10. > China, U.S. Firm Challenge U.S. On Encryption-Software Exports > By Don Clark >RSA Data Security Inc., the dominant supplier of >data-privacy software, announced an unusual partnership >with the Chinese government that exploits loopholes in U.S. >export restrictions on codemaking technology. And the logical next step would be that the Chinese crypto would be adopted by all those wishing to distribute filty, indecent, pornographic materials depicting the sexual and excretory organs of various mammals (watch out Shamu - the law said nothing about human organs) to show a "good faith" effort to protect America's yout. Warmly, Padgett "Life will find a way". Ian - _Jurrasic Park_
