It cotinues to amaze me that an EFF employee can be som completely ignorant of the distinction between the authors of the software, the code itself, and how that code is used by the public. Is this NOT the very distinction that the EFF is trying to pound into the heads of Congressmen so that media duplication technology does not become codified in law as "tools of piracy"? If the EFF can't even make that distinction clear to their own people, how on Earth are they going to get a politician to understand?
Hell, if razor is a censorship tool, then so is the UNIX "rm" command. So is the "D" key. A paper shredder? Censorship tool. Matches? Censorship tool AND terrorist weapon. All of these things, *if used inappropriately*, can destroy information. Razor is merely a tool. How it is used is up to the user. If there is someone out there who is using razor to silently drop messages flagged as spam, then your beef is with them (and they are an idiot). However, I don't recall you ever establishing proof that any messages were dropped, or even bounced. Do you know which ISPs are doing any of these things? If so, you ought to be complaining to them, not the authors of the software. Marc, you are doing the same thing that the RIAA and MPAA are doing: going after the technology and the authors instead of those who are using the technology incorrectly/illegally. Hypocrite. Finally, If John Gilmore wants to weigh in with a "fuck you", then he should at least have the sense to get the gist of the discussion first, and the courtesy to deliver the message himself. Assuming that message was posted with his permission, he has just made an ass of himself in a forum frequented by EFF supporters. In that case, fuck you back, John Gilmore. I sent the EFF my first contribution in December and this is the quality of the activism I funded? Don't expect any more from me. You can have your damn hat back. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] John Stimson http://www.idsfa.net/~john/ HMC Physics '94 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Razor-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/razor-users
