suggestions about how best to recruit more public supporters. T-shirts, gimmicks, and suggestions for songs about crypto, for getting t.v. producers to put crypto, pro-privacy themes in their t.v. shows, and so on. All pretty hopeless, wouldn't you say? Why do you say that? Clipper was defeated. People all over the net united and opposed it. Now there is this new threat, but at least defeating Clipper bought some time. There is no reason the same
thousands of thing can't happen again.
The way I remember it, it was only defeated after <oh shit, I'm drawing a blank here what was his name...> at Bell Labs/Lucent Technologies proved that the clipper chip could be counterfeitted and interoperate with "legitimate" clippered devices. Most people didn't even know about the fight, much less take a side. The Code was written by Mr. Blaze, and the law fell apart.
