[free-sklyarov] The Heart of the Matter?

[Robert Franklin]

It seems to be that the arguments over whether or not to protest boil
down to who the target is.  If the protests are aimed at Adobe, it makes
much sense to let the EFF do its work... I have a high level of trust in
them.  However, if the target is more broad (i.e. DMCA, Federal
Government, etc.) then talks with Adobe don't seem to have much bearing.
Is Adobe making the decision about whether Dmitry stays imprisoned?  If
not, then why should the talks with them interrupt the protests?

I see a need for a statement of position/goals/whatever, perhaps at
boycottadobe.org if not through the EFF.  I think we will continue to
see some confusion regarding these issues until a relative neophyte such
as myself has something to point to and say "_that_ is why we are here."
It would also make communicating succinctly with media/etc. much simpler
as well as presenting a united front.  Agree?  Any volunteers for such a
document?  I know what _I_ want to see here... it would be nice be able
to answer what do _we_ want.  DMCA gone?  Dmitry free?  Adobe to back
down?  All of the above?
