I was afraid that this misperception might take place.  The reaction to the
Wired story has nothing to do with ownership and everything to do with
representation vs. misrepresentation.  The association made between Jam
Echelon Day and the American Justice Foundation is capable of

A) damaging the movement by giving it the appearance that it is a by-product
of right wing paranoia

B) tarnishing the image of hacktivists in general [especially given the
reality of just how global this has become]

C) shooting down the paradigm that the "little guy" is capable of setting in
motion anything that is a really good idea - at least as far as media
activism is concerned - by giving it the appearance that it was created by
an established organization

Incidentally, I saw the blurb at the bottom of the Wired News article with
the appropriate corrections and I think I can speak for all those who have
decided to work with me on this effort that it is entirely satisfactory.

I hope everyone will forgive me for the fact that I did not know Wired News
any better than Linda Thompson [and for the fact that I have a hard-earned
distrust of large media in general].  At least I can now say that I know
Wired a LITTLE better than Linda Thompson and the AJF.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Editor's Note: This Story has been corrected. The Jam Echelon Day project
will be held 21 October, and coordinated by members of the Hacktivism
mailing list. The article had incorrectly suggested that the American
Justice Federation had organized the event. Wired News regrets the error.
