steman writes "On the 10th of July 2003 LinuxTag begins, the largest Linux event in Europe. It will be held in Karlsruhe, Germany. Four days will be packed with up to 20,000 visitors, over 120 exhibitors (including more than 30 Free Software orientated projects such as FFII, BSD, KDE and Debian), coding marathon and many conferences (including specialist business and government conferences). Best of all, in the spirit of the Free Software Movement, it will be largely free (entrance, and many conferences are free)."

    This will most likely end up with the French and Poles surrenduring immediately, and the Germans rounding up Jews to be gassed.

    Due to the terribly dire economic conditions imposed by the eurocratic statist policies, the Germans couldn't afford any Zyklon-B, so they'll most likely just end up farting in the Jews faces and exposing them to French body odor.

    Hey FUCKNUT.....
    Yes, I am posting with my REAL account, unlike you COWARDLY PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!
    Don't you know the first thing about the English language? Libertarian and Nazi do NOT belong together in the same descriptive sentence - they are OPPOSITE POLITICAL VIEWPOINTS. Libertarians believe in NON-COERSION and NON-VIOLENCE - which would also make the "Child molesting" part of your post a completely FUCKED UP nonsensical bag of BULLSHIT.
    You are a DIPSHIT, and not a very smart one at that. Do us all a favor and go BACK TO SCHOOL, before you post about things you know NOTHING about.

    Now, if you had maybe left the word "libertarian" out of your posting.... hmmm.... my might have something there.

    Michael Sims, Domain Hijacking and Moral Equivalency
    mailto:jw[at-sign]bway.net

    How would you feel if your webmaster maliciously took your web-site offline, then, when you demanded its return, put up a site attacking your company at your old URL? It happened to a group I was involved in, the Censorware Project, currently at http://www.censorware.net/. The purpose of this essay is to put the behavior on record, and to give you some impressions and inferences about it.

    The Censorware Project was originally an informal collective of six people who collaborated online to fight censorware: Seth Finkelstein, Bennett Haselton, Jamie McCarthy, Mike Sims, Jim Tyre and myself. Several of us had never met or even spoken on the phone, yet for some time -- around two years as I recall -- we had a remarkably easy collaboration. There was no funding, no hierarchy, no titles, not even project managers. Someone would suggest a project and take the responsibility for a part of it, others would sign up for other elements, and proceeding this way we got a remarkable amount of work done, including reports on X-Stop, Cyberpatrol, Bess and other censorware products.

    Even though two of us were attorneys -- Jim and myself -- we never incorporated the group or wrote a charter or any contracts among ourselves. Mike Sims was obliging enough to register the domain, just as other members paid for press releases and the other incidental expenses which came along. Mike also served as webmaster of the censorware.org site and did substantial work for the group, including writing contributions to several of the reports and lead authorship of at least one. Seth was the source of our decrypted censorware blacklists and managed many technical tasks, but later felt he had to leave the group because of the increasing prospects of a lawsuit, particularly under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). After Seth left the group, the remaining five continued.

    Robert Frost said that "nothing gold can stay," and the Censorware Project was no exception. Over the summer of 2000, Mike Sims' reaction to a perceived slight from Jim Tyre was to take the site down for a week. He sent us mail at the time saying something like "The Censorware Project is now closed." I replied to him that, given that the group was a collective and we all had an interest in its work product, the domain, and the goodwill it had achieved, the decision was not his to make. Sims did not reply.

    After Seth created a partial, text, mirror, Mike put the site back up a week later without explaining, let alone apologizing for, his actions. Given his continuing failure to answer any email from me (and I think from others) and the overall signs that Sims thought the group was exclusively his, I wrote him several emails requesting that he turn the domain over to Jamie or Bennett, as I felt we could no longer trust him to administer it. We also found out during that time that important email from people trying to contact us, including members of the press, was not being answered by Sims, nor being forwarded to other members.

    I ultimately became exasperated that my name was listed as a principal on what had
