No congratulations until Dmitri is free and on a jet, in
the air, outside of US jurisdiction...

That's nice.

>For that reason, EFF has decided to:

>PUT THE JULY 23 PROTEST ON HOLD

Methinks EFF doesn't want my Tax Refund. . .

I'm sorry, but you DON'T cave in a situation like this,
if we're protesting with media coverage, that's all the
more leverage we have in negotiations.

**IF** Adobe had acted honorably, we could show good faith.
But **WE** haven't done anything wrong: ADOBE is the party
who needs to show good faith FIRST. . . 

And remember, we need to keep the momentum building, because
getting Dmitri freed is just the FIRST part of this: getting 
DMCA overturned is the full goal. . .
