I was under the impression that Mr. Edelman was the plaintiff in this case.
(Following is a short excerpt from the article.)
The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing Mr. Edelman, last month filed a lawsuit against N2H2 Inc., a Seattle-based Internet filtering company, in U.S. District Court in Boston.
Did you actually read the article? The above is from the second paragraph, for crying out loud.
Young man, you've been writing some code, I said, Young man, think it ought to be showed, I said, Young man, but what you shoulda knowed, is some Things... must... be... left... un-said
Young man, there's a law that's been passed, I said, Young man, we hoped it wouldn't last, but now, Young man, if you break it, your ass will be Hauled... a-way... to... Club Fed

Reality is the fact that the DMCA letter campaign was a joke. Reality is the fact that our republican President was not elected, but rather appointed by a republican Supreme Court. Reality is the fact that large American corporations routinely lie through their teeth to their stockholders.
Wake up and smell the coffee, sunshine. The legal system is a tool that those with the necessary resources use to accomplish their own ends.
How about participating the legal process, like testifying before Congress? How about submitting your own bills? How about rallying support to defeat the bills?
Seems to me I elected someone to take care of this sort of thing...
Seriously, though, nothing you've said so far holds water. Testifying before Congress? Submitting my own bills? Rallying support to defeat the bills? Honestly...do you even read what you post?
You need the green stuff to make these "alternatives" bear fruit. If you have a few million to spare, please show us what you're trying to say. Until then, accept reality.
In addition (if anyone cares...), they are also running an ftp server (no max login attempts) and an email server (no authlogin installed) on the same box...

Tell me, do you apply the same arbitrary restriction to the term 'artist'?
Composing doesn't require manual dexterity, therefore composers aren't artists?
Computer art doesn't require manual dexterity, therefore computer art creators aren't artists?
What about the guy that welds junk together to express his art? Not much manual dexterity involved in using a torch...guess he's not an artist.
Your definition is far too restrictive to be correct.
What are you doing with a Player's Handbook on your ass?
They aren't artists...they are artisans. There's a difference.

No wonder you post anonymously.
China doesn't get mad.
China gets even.
Anyone who misspells 'their' should be dragged out into the street and shot.
It's already too late.
I'm running all sorts of servers on my broadband...haven't heard anything from Comcast yet...
....or altering your MAC address?
If altered MAC addresses are criminalized, only criminals wil have altered MAC addresses.

Hmm...worked for me...
Yup....they were called 'moving ways'.

Scuttle on home now...that's a good lackey.
Nothing like automating civil disobedience. :P

I'm already sorry.
