Subject: [free-sklyarov] Welcome to new subscribers; updates
This list now has 533 subscribers. Traffic has continued to be quite
high, largely due to the discussion about the Monday events and EFF's
role.
I welcome everyone to the list and provide the following reminder:
> PLEASE DO NOT HARASS ADOBE ON THE TELEPHONE OR SEND THEM ANY OTHER
> KIND OF HARASSING OR THREATENING COMMUNICATION! (The same goes for
> the U.S. Marshal Service, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and the U.S.
> District Court.) Of course, it is OK to send criticism to Adobe and
> to the U.S. Attorney. Let your criticism be civil and relevant.
>
> When people sent threats to the MPAA -- following the MPAA's
> reprehensible prosecution of 2600 Enterprises -- the MPAA actually
> quoted these in court and used them to hurt the defendants' case!
My latest news is that Dmitry Sklyarov was still held in Las Vegas as
of yesterday and had managed to talk to at least one person by
telephone. If you (a list reader) do manage to speak to him, please
pass on the word that over 500 people have signed up to support him
and that he is receiving messages of support from all over the world.
IN OTHER NEWS
-------------
The EFF decision today to postpone its call for demonstration at Adobe
has caused a lot of controversy. I hope that some of that controversy
can move off-list now. I was in the EFF office in my capacity as a
volunteer today, and the EFF is well aware that this decision was very
controversial. You can certainly continue to take up this discussion
with the EFF.
EFF will meet with Adobe on Monday to discuss the situation.

Some other groups are continuing the demonstrations on Monday as they
had previously scheduled. Information about those groups may continue
to be posted here by them. I'm aware of this co-ordination page
http://www.boycottadobe.com/pages/rallies.html
for those who are choosing to continue with these events.
PLEASE CALL
-----------
If you are well-informed about the situation and would like to
express your opinion, I think the following are appropriate
recipients:
(Please remember to avoid any abusive, harassing, or threatening
messages, which hurt Mr. Sklyarov's cause!)
* Adobe Systems, Inc.
http://www.adobe.com/
* Your U.S. Representative or Senators (if you are in the U.S.)
http://www.congress.org/
* The U.S. Embassy, Consulate, or Interests Section for the place
where you live (if you are not in the U.S.)
http://usembassy.state.gov/
* The U.S. Attorney General
http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/
* The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California
http://www.usaondca.com/
* The legal and technical media, and the local media for the place
where you live -- if they are not yet aware of the situation
* Your local newspaper (you can write a letter to the editor)
PLEASE DO NOT CALL
------------------
* The Russian Consulate in San Francisco (they already know about
the situation!)
* Media that have already covered the story (unless you have something
new to add)
* The U.S. Marshal Service or the Federal Public Defender (they seem to
have no useful information for the public)
ADMINISTRIVIA

You can only post from the address under which you are subscribed _and
your envelope and From: addresses must match, which some mail software
does not do correctly_. If you post from another address, your mail
will be flagged and delayed until I can review it.
If you send me additional addresses from which you'd like to be able
to post, I can enable that, but it may take some time before I can get
to it.
