Donna sez,
In response to what happened at Defcon to Michael Lynn, EFF Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl has penned a little ditty about the need to defend freedom:
Lawyers, Geeks, and Money
(With apologies to Warren Zevon).Well, I hacked into the Cisco
The way I always do
How was I to know
They’d call in CCIPS, tooI was talking at Black Hat
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, geeks, and money.
Jen, get me out of thisI’m the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the feds and Cisco
And I’m down on my luck
And I’m down on my luck
And I’m down on my luckNow I’m pwned by the injuntion
I’m a desperate geek
Send lawyers, geeks, and money.
A hacker up the creekAdds Kurt, “Any relationship between this post and real life is merely coincidental. After all, who would really try to suppress open and honest discussion about a security flaw through legal action?”
(Thanks, Donna!)
