[ILUG] dvd/cca and free software...

[kevin lyda]

i just read this, and note that abc news and slashdot are also covering
the story

http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/01/31/johansen.interview.idg/index.html

considering the points he makes, in particular regarding the neccesity
of reverse engineering and free software, it seems rather important to
the linux community.  considering also that it relates to corporate
rights vs. individual rights, the usa's ability to inflict it's laws on
other parts of the world, and general ideas regarding freedom, one
wonders where the irish media's coverage on this story is.  in
particular considering that norway is a tad closer to ireland then it is
to those three media outlets...

i know some news people read this group, any ideas from them?

along those lines i'm currently trying to hire linux developers and
admins.  i'm also specing out support options.  somehow i doubt i'm the
only one in ireland doing this, but i'm forced to look at us and uk
publications and web sites to find any reports on such things.  (well,
that and redhat's web site and the ilug list)  i'm also a consumer of
irish media, what percentage of the market must linux take before
there's any level of decent coverage?

just curious...
