Will,

I suggest that the protests continue unless you get concrete promises from
Adobe in writing that they will withdraw their complaint against Dmitry
Sklyarov and that they will not pursue anyone nor support government- or
third-party pursuit of people under the 'anti-circumvention' clause of the
DMCA.

Otherwise, we'll lose the critical momentum that we need to demonstrate on
Monday.  And for what?  If the talks fail to produce concrete progress on
the above goals, we all will have lost much, but gained little.
