One thing that seems to be missing from his own statements is an admission that he was wrong to accept the government's characterization of the "theft" in the Neidorf and related Bell South cases. If it had not been for the efforts of Spafford and like-minded individuals who promoted the all-hackers-are-dangerous-criminals-who- deserve-extreme-sanctions mentality, it is possible that no one would have seen the need for an EFF. --Mike Mike Godwin, UT Law School | "We need a new cosmology. mnemonic@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | New Gods.
