    You should be interested in the Free Expression Project, then.  I'm
committed to reverse engineering proprietary protocols and codecs and
defending it in court to the end.  I'm trying to line up some pro bono
counsel now in preparation.
    For some strange reason, the people in suits who are interested in the
project don't like my being outspoken on my willingness to vigorously
assert my (our) rights and fight it out in court.  Can't understand why...
