As much as we all know the guy is not going to get a fair trial, the concept of an anti-defence fund is a novel one.
It may be called a "friend of the court" brief, (only probably in Latin). Some well-written papers (briefs) about the dangers posed by those who threaten the Internet infrastructure may be useful in this case. -tjs

Please don't... we can be certain that there will be an abundance of folks bringing that perspective to the court and more stones are not going to help anyone at this point. /John p.s. Mind you, if someone else now goes after the infrastructure (having seen the potential consequences of their action) *then* we put pen to paper and ensure their obliteration...

I happen to agree with John here. As much I don't like Eugene, and as much as I believe that he deliberately undermined what could have been a true open-market replacement to the IAHC process, I *still* won't return the favor by filing a brief of that type in this case. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - Serving Chicagoland and Wisconsin http://www.mcs.net/ | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | NEW!
