I sent email to Amy Gwiazdowski, someone responsible for the press 
releases on the AAP's web site, under two different names.

Both letters, despite raising different issues, got this response:

* * *
AAP stands by its press release of July 22 supporting the anticircumvention
provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and commending the
Department of Justice for acting on its responsibility to enforce the DMCA
in the matter of Dmitry Sklyarov.

In response to those who attempt to justify circumventing, or trafficking in
devices that circumvent, encryption and other technological measures that
protect copyright in the digital environment,  AAP urges them to carefully
consider how their arguments would apply to precisely the same activities in
connection with encryption and other technological measures used to protect
privacy in that same environment.
