You think Ian goes to the press and says that Freenet is about pirating music? He has been working damn hard to give them the right idea, but most people just don't give a damn, they print what they want to (and care more about the fact that we might be a threat to their money than that we are fighting for their freedom). You need therapy for that hubris if you think that by talking to you they would suddenly understand.
This project has had an absurd amount of press time compared what we have achieved. It's bad enough that we more or less lost Ian as a developer to talking to the press 24/7 (and now heading off to California to do God knows what), let's not make it any worse then it is.
