Barry,
Is there an address of the people responsible at CBS for this outrage. I think
that one thing computer users have found is that BBS's make great lobbying
devices, in that one person can take the time to compose a letter, and the
rest can just run it off and sign it. It's worked before, mayhap we should
continue (it's certainly going to be more scary to CBS than would breaking
into military computers, ne c'est pas?).
Phil Morris -- also speaking for myself

Does anyone have a videotape of CBS's broadcast? I am outraged at what CBS
is purported to have done, but refuse to go out on a limb until I've had a
chance to see it with my own eyes. If CBS's slander is as it has been
described, then I will offer my full support of any boycott/information
campaign/legal action against them.
If you have a tape of the broadcast (or even better, additional footage
from the convention!), please let me know so that I can arrange for a
copy to be viewed by the "hackers" and other interested parties in this area.
