The situation with Declan, Sameer, Duncan, and others, is even less clear. Things are moving much faster now that the Net is the means of distribution. I was of course half-joking about Declan visiting Europe, but surely France could decide to throw the book at him, and any EU country he entered (such as Ireland, judging from his name) could hold him at their entry point and ship him off to France to "set an example."

The "modal time served" in Europe for cypherpunks activities is/will be so low as to be indistinguishable from zero. If only that was my greatest legal risk. Continental legal systems believe in prior restraint so they make a lot of noise but they are pretty weak in the punishment department. DCF
