However, my initial reaction is that the subpoenas seem to be OVERBROAD. They could be argued by a competent attorney, given the simultaneous targeting of two completely disparate cryptographic enterprises, to represent an OUTRAGEOUS FISHING EXPEDITION. Isn't there a way to contest a subpoena in court? these legal mechanisms need to be employed IMMEDIATELY.
Lance, calm down. PRZ and ViaCrypt have their own lawyers. Mike Godwin in contact with PRZ, and we all saw Shari's message from the exec dir of the EFF, so they are involved. We are technologists, not lawyers. For now, I'll let the lawyers formulate the response to this attack. They know the game better than you or I do. When my help is requested, they'll get it. For now, we need to continue doing what we've been doing: distributing technology, experimenting with remailers, and increasing awareness. Not taking the government on with no tools, no experience, and no clue. Marc
