I am amused (though I am not taking sides) by the general lack of attention or rhetoric that "crypto-anarchists"/"crypherpunks"/whatever, otherwise privacy respecting people, usually espouse. If someone found out all the medical information of cypherpunks list members and distributed about the Net, how would people feel? (This is a rhetorical question, and I am familiar and agree with some of the arguments regarding public interest, public figures, copyright isn't a privacy protecting mechanism, yada yada yada. Just something to think about, what if large corporations, public interest groups, lobbeys, or governments can use this as a precedent against "us".) _______________________ Regards, Democracy is where you can say what you think even if you don't think. -?
