Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of culture, technology, politics, and law. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.
So I've been in New York covering the DVD lawsuit filed by the movie industry against 2600 magazine. Some (unfortunately digital) photos of the hacker/Linux protests outside the courthouse: http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/dvd-2600-trial.html And some participants, including 2600's Emmanuel Goldstein and cryptome's John Young: http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/2600.html And, of course, Jon Johansen: http://www.mccullagh.org/image/950-10/jon-johansen-3.html On our way to dinner on Monday after the trial ended for the day we found a healthy selection of pirated movies on VHS for $5 each on the street. It was a nice irony -- Hollywood attacking DeCSS and ignoring the real culprits outside: http://www.mccullagh.org/image/950-10/emmanuel-goldstein-pirate.html I bought the X-Men movie. The quality is acceptable; if the origin was a video camera pointed at a movie theater screen, at least the pirate used a tripod. A few articles I've written about the trial: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,37647,00.html Movie Studios on the Warpath by Declan McCullagh 1:25 p.m. Jul. 18, 2000 PDT http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,37615,00.html DeCSS Lawyers Press MPAA by Declan McCullagh 4:20 p.m. Jul. 17, 2000 PDT -Declan -------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- the moderated mailing list of politics and technology To subscribe, visit http://www.politechbot.com/info/subscribe.html This message is archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
