Call it "British Understatement" if you like ;-) The aim is to
try to provoke a response, to get into a meaningful discussion.
The lack of reply merely demonstrates that the guy's statements
are so much hot air, with no basis in fact.

The problem is that the web is full of this bullshit, and no-one is
speaking out against it. We need to get articles in the mainstream
press about why the DMCA is bad, why the publishers' dream of
"protected content" is a pipedream.

All the letters, emails, etc that I've written since Dmitry's
arrest are collected on my homepage 
(http://home.graffiti.net/pogue/writings/). Including this one,
as of a few minutes ago.

Dave
