The film "Freedom Downtime," made by 2600 about the "Free Kevin" campaign
and some other hacker issues, is wonderful.  I've watched it several
times and always end up in tears because of the implication of lack of
understanding and serious threat to young creative intelligent young
people that this film details (remember now that life sentences have been
proposed for hackers).  I own a copy of this video if anyone wants to see
it. (Maybe a GNHLUG Film Festival sometime when a topic is lacking, eh? 
I'd like to see "Revolution OS" [again] and "The Code" myself.)


Anyway, "Freedom Downtime" will be on TeeVee this month [From the 2600
