I loaned my digital camera to Jason
Wright to take pictures. He doesn't appear in any of the others so here he is now.
I showed up at the Stanford Law School before the rest of the protestors and ran into Chris DiBona [ http://dibona.com/ ] who was helping to get ready for a press conference that EFF [ http://www.eff.org/ ] was holding before the hearing. It was a beautiful day for freedom. A bunch more people showed up -- we had about 40 at the peak.

It was a beautiful day for
an outdoor event.
Chris
DiBona surveyed the crowd from the second floor balcony.
Katina Bishop from EFF came
out to coordinate our media manipulation stragegies. When the reporters showed up
we made sure they knew where the EFF press conference was.
While we were demonstrating
outside, EFF was holding a press conference inside.
Me, telling random
people about the evils of DMCA.
A few random
people walking by were really interested. Here I'm telling someone about the Cyber
Patrol case.
Eric S. Raymond [ http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/
] hung out with us outside for a while then went in to the EFF press conference
inside.

Good pass.
The press conference in progress.
Here we are chanting "Hey,
Hey, USA, free speech, not DMCA!"
We're famous. We got interviewed
by the media and everything.
A lot of people
heard about the event from Slashdot [ http://slashdot.org/ ], and here are some
of them handing out flyers. Thanks to 2600 for the MPAA stickers.
More random pictures.
