Selbiges kann auch auf der internen List der Main Suspects beobachtet werden. Während die Mediencopyrightlobby mit schweren Geschützen auffährt diskutiert man munter über Details, wie ProtestFlyer aussehen sollte oder verspinnt sich in höhere Programmiererei.

The eight Motion Picture Association of America member companies, which have been battling the DVD-descrambling utility called DeCSS, have hired one of the largest, oldest, and meanest law firms in New York city, Proskauer Rose.

But the beleaguered defense teams, which have been defeated in two of two cases so far, have a not-so-secret weapon: The Internet and open collaboration. In fact, the concept is precisely the opposite of secret. The idea is simple: A legal argument can be developed in an open forum that anyone can join and participate in, and eventually the best ideas will bubble up to the top.
