[free-sklyarov] Adobe Divestment? I think not...

[David HM Spector]

Before anyone flames me... read on:

The best way to hurt Adobe for their asinine and short-sighted attacks
on the software community is make their PR life so painful they have
no choice but to back down and even apologize.

DO NOT to divest yourself of Adobe stock, but rather hold your stock,
and if you don't own any, call (or click over to) your broker and buy
1 (one) share of Adobe stock.  

We as a community of shareholders can file class-action suits against
the company.  The power of a few hundred thousand software developers
cannot be trifled with --- especially if we keep this event in the
news.   

Next, what we need are a few lawyers (is the EFF listening) who will
work with all these newly minted Adobe shareholder to (legally -- no
stupid pet trick, please) hound Adobe's management.

Divenstments don't work -- big companies don't care if you divest
because the majority of people will NOT divest.  They DO care about
bad press and angry, volcal politically active share-holders.


Oh, and of course, you should call you congress-folk can tell them to
get on teh DoJ/FBI's case about this issue.  Congress people a re
especially afraid of vocal constituents.

.... thoughts?  Feedback?
