Subject: [sklyarov-chicago] Chicago Protest Report
Chicago's leafletting today went well, again passing out around 1,000
flyers with about 20 people (a little less than the first one). All in
all, pretty good. Many more people seemed to know about the situation,
although it's still frustrating that afaik, no Chicago news outlet has
reported on the Sklyarov case.
We'll probably take a week or two off -- I think that we can organize a
better, more coherent protest as well as muster up more returners (we
had about half totally new people today) if we make a little breathing
room before the next protest. Additionally, our next protest will
hopefully be more of an actual protest as opposed to a leafletting
campaign, although I had a cool idea -- instead of getting one plaza in
a place like downtown Chicago, get one guy on as many adjacent
streetcorners as possible -- visibility at every crosswalk. *shrug*
Taking some time off may help in coordinating some better media
trolling.
Anyway, a lot more people in Chicago now know about the situation with
Sklyarov. Many thanks to returners and all new protesters. Stay tuned
for more details.

Some ad-hoc leafletting is also a good idea.
Everyone should carry leaflets and a copy of the
petition in their backpacks and hand them out as the
opportunity permits. Blue ribbons worn for internet
freedom on the shirt or jacket make for a good
conversation starter. It would be nice if we had
some 'Free Dmitry' buttons and stickers. Is
theInternational saying it's 'Free Dmitry' or 'Free
Sklyarov' (the latter being the name of the website)?
Also, as we're just starting, a little bit o' 'Viral
Marketing 101':
If you hadn't noticed, I'm a Yahoo!...some of us are
AOLers and some are MSNers/Hotmailers...how do people
know, and how did these businesses get their start?
In every message sent from the domain, the tagline
with a link to the domain was and is added. EVERYONE
should be appending all the mail you're allowed to
(ask at work/school if you're allowed to. Normally,
if they allow personal 'signatures (not .vc Cards,
they carry virii!),' they'll allow a link to the site.
But we should all use the same one...and it should be
the same one from the International organization...
So, Pedro, what is the tag line we'll all use?

Quoting Michael Cannon:
> So, Pedro, what is the tag line we'll all use?
I think something like I have below would be nice. Free Dmitry or Free
Dmitry Sklarov are the most popular slogans, and not really Free
Sklyarov, even though that is the website. It's just how things evolved.
One might add the Chicago address to the bottom if they wished.

Roger that. The tag should change, occasionally. Try
also, "Russians have more rights than you." "In
prison for defending your consumer rights." Also,
"Dmitry Sklyarov: Adobe's (or Hollywood's or
Washington's) Human Shield" and "Indict the Adobe 7
instead!"
