I just came back from the 7th annual crypto conference that we've organized in DC. Among the people who spoke were Carl Ellison, Eric Hughes, Matt Blaze, Peter Wayner, Cindy Cohn, Bruce Schneier. (Michael Froomkin was invited, but he's been out of the country. And Whit couldn't make it cause he's finishing his book.)
Like I said, Tim May et al are behind the curve. You guys preach cyber anarchy but you're really armchair activists.
I've tried to ignore your "appeals to authority" criticisms of the points I and other have made. But this is just stooping too low. Because we were not speakers at your conference, we're "armchair activists." Incredible. I'll have no more to say to you, now or at any foreseeable time in the future. There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
