Yes, I think it's on topic to talk about whether libertarianism or
other political philosophies can encourage people to support Dmitry,
or whether these philosophies lead to support of the DMCA.  (Also,
it's relevant to talk about how or whether we can do outreach to
different groups to get them involved.)  The libertarianism debate on
this list got off-track earlier, but it's not inherently inappropriate.
