Wouldn't that place downloading closer to 'terrorism'? The NDAA makes civil disobedience a difficult space to be active in as well? I think that you need to be clear that Swartz did not do something illegal in the first instance. Using his actions as an example it would be more constructive to describe it as proactive constructive action or agency. Disobedience as a term does not in anyway challenge the problems in the syswtems which he was acting in order to challenge in the public interest janet _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freeculture.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss FAQ: http://wiki.freeculture.org/Fc-discuss
