Hi Libtech, Some of you may have been following the ongoing saga of DRM in the W3C. One of the latest developments is that EFF (and others) are pushing for the adoption of a "covenant" to protect security researchers from legal liability when studying or implementing the standards in question.
We'd be very grateful for support for security researchers explaining why this matters as the W3C is making its final decision. For more information (including some signatories), and our request that you contact Cory Doctorow who's leading this effort: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/03/security-researchers-tell-w3c-protect-researchers-who-investigate-browsers We believe the W3C is very close to a decision, so the sooner you can get in touch the better.
