[free-sklyarov] campaign idea

[D. C. LeFevre]

Hey folks:

We've been talking on Slashdot today about the fact that mainstream media 
seems asleep at the wheel on the Sklyarov story.  Of course, mainstream 
media are pro-DMCA and have other agendas that might keep them about 
speaking out about this.

I have an idea.  One outlet that might be willing to talk about Sklyarov is 
NPR's "Talk of the Nation."  Today, for instance, they are doing an hour 
about a controversial child pornography case.  If they are willing to talk 
about first amendment cases like that, perhaps they would be willing to 
talk about the Sklyarov case if enough people showed interest.

Why don't we start a campaign and send them some mail?  Their email address 
is totn at npr.org.  This might be a good way to get some talk in a big media 
outlet.

Please reply directly to me, I am only on the Digest.

Thanks..
