American coders will be kept in the dark about some Linux security updates, amid DMCA fears.

I have an open request for the people in America affected by this bill...which includes myself. Lately the government has passed laws limiting our freedoms without giving us any tangible evidence of benefit. I say that if we are all so sore, we should do something that will cause change. That change begins with getting involved.

Frankly, reading securityfocus.com, slashdot.org, and wired.com, I'm starting to sense that we as a community complain more then we produce. Perhaps it's time we don't depend on the EFF and the ACLU to fight for our freedom. They are fine organizations, but they are only human and don't have unlimited resources. Perhaps it is time we as a community *And I do mean commnunity folks* work together to show our disapproval, to show where our support lies.

I don't agree with the with holding of linux security details anymore then I think we should label johnny web defacer as a terrorist. I have written letters. Is there more I can to do HELP? What can I do. And what can YOU do? Lets take our freedoms back. Lets hope the life of the DCMA, the Anti-Terrorism bill, and the SSSCA is short and painful. So...what do we do now?
