General 7-9 pm Wednesday, September 13, 2000 Calweb Linus Sphinx His Homepage http://www.fullsack.com Servlets And An Editor For Andy's Web Page. Robin Gross of EFF Summary Of The Case http://www.upside.com/Upside_Counsel/ If you want to read a nice short article about DeCSS before the meeting follow the more info link to a well written summary of the case. Brian wrote, I just confirmed Robin Gross for September 13, 2000 meeting. She is an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation who is litigating the case regarding the DVD case and the DeCSS code. This talk should be great. EFF is in need of donations, as the litigation with the DVD encryption code is draining their resources. To me, this case stands behind the trueness of GNU and Linux, and I hope we can give EFF our fullest support. Here, is the message from Robin.
