[Seth-Trips] Next Elcomsoft hearing, U.S. District Court, San Jose, Monday [wild@eff.org: [E-S] EFF: Elcomsoft Back in US Federal Court, Monday, April 15, 2002]

[Seth David Schoen]

You can come to court and hear Judge Whyte rule on Elcomsoft's
motions!  (And you can see a stream of depressing immigration
plea-bargains.)

We can count on a small number of hands the number of times district
judges have been told that software is speech.  This case is one of
those times.

First Amendment's Free Speech motion, argued by Keker and Van Nest
