[wordup] Norwegians protest Jon Johansen's indictment, photos of rally

[Adam Shand]

It's nice to see protests like this going on outside the US.  Not that I
think it's a rarity, but just that we don't really hear about it that
much here.

For those not in the know Johanses was the kid that that wrote DeCSS
which decrypted DVD's so they could be watched under Linux.

I just spoke with Jon and Per.  They reported that there were protests in
Norway tonight over Jon's indictment and will be a protest tomorrow in
front of the Norwegian parliament.

The person to write to and request the charges be dropped is:
    Chief Prosecutor Inger Marie Sunde of the Norwegian Economic Crime Unit
    Post Box 8193 0034 OSLO

I'm checking on other politicians who may be in a position to do something
here.  Jon will send me contact info for Electronic Frontier Norway (EFN),
who we should coordinate with if possible.

Thanks,
Robin
