NYLUG Demonstration At DVD Trial

Billy Donahue writes "The New York Linux Users Group (www.nylug.org) is demonstrating outside the Federal Courthouse in Manhattan. Linux users, free software enthusiasts, and civil libertarians will unite in a show of support for technology journalist Emmanuel Goldstein, editor of 2600 Magazine (www.2600.com). Hundreds of people in town for H2K will be there, including Richard Stallman and several other notable hackers. 10 a.m.-5 p.m., 500 Pearl Street, Manhattan.. Please come by if you can! Press release here." I'm going down there to take a gander at both the trial and demonstration - should be interesting.

Demonstration is still going on, come on down!

I was just at the demonstration, pretty decent turnout (enough to fill the area allowed), and the people walking by have generally been receptive to our message. Handouts with the css_unscramble.c on one side and a short background on the matter at hand on the other are being given out, along w/ DeCSS t-shirts, etc.

If yer in NYC, you should come down, even if only for your lunch break.

Troll? Don't you moderators remember the DC protest of, say, 2&frac12 people?

So I was wrong and more people turned out--can you say it was a TROLL to push those who could go to not let DC happen again?
