[free-sklyarov] Announcement - eBookWeb event: Digital Rights, DMCA and Hac

[Alan Smithee]

Wade,

This is a most excellent idea and I look forward to participating.

Might I respectfully suggest, however, that you re-consider your choice of 
the word 'Hacker.'

It is a buzz word that connotes illegality and crime, and to many, 
incorrectly frames the debate.

'Coder' would be far more neutral and better define the balance of rights at 
stake.

In my humble opinion.

Kind regards.
