	In the era BS11 (Before-September-11), I was having some
discussions about doing a slightly edgy anticensorware report,
tied into the DMCA. I was going to discuss legal issues again,
and use the Sklyarov case as the poster-child for how much
the DMCA legal risks had escalated (e.g. civil to criminal). It's hard
for people to say that talk of jail is a hyperbolic "parade of horribles"
when there's a bona-fide criminal case in the works. See the previous 
DMCA discussion, in my report "SmartFilter - I've Got A Little List"

	But in the era AS11 (After-September-11), I think my
plans there are just too risky. There won't be many people
listening. And the legal climate continues to get worse and worse.
What can I tell you, chilling effects work :-(.
