This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast.
In the intro, a reminder that CopyNight here in DC is
next Tuesday. Also, an
update on the badge experiment. And thanks to Kevin M. and George for their donations this past week.
Listener feedback this week is from Robert. He recommends the radio show and podcast,
Media Matters.
The hacker word of the week this week is
fat electrons.
The feature this week is an interview with Lee Tien, senior staff attorney at EFF. We discuss the
recent ruling in the Al Haramain case, one of the many wrestling with the warrantless wire taps conducted under the Bush administration. I mention my
previous interview with EFF's Rebecca Jeschke about the FISA Amendments Act. I also mention EFF's resource pages on the
Hepting case, the
Jewel case, and on
this case.
