[LUG] Re: meeting 15-12-02

oh, if people are interested (and there's a TV available. It's a video 
tape, but I'll probably need to bring my own VCR as it's an NTSC tape) 
I can bring the documentary 'Freedom Downtime' which should be of 
interest to many of the LUG.

FREEDOM DOWNTIME is the story of computer hacker Kevin Mitnick, 
imprisoned without bail for nearly five years. The film tries to 
uncover the reasons why the authorities are so scared of Mitnick as 
well as define what exactly he did. As word of a new Hollywood movie 
portraying Mitnick as a terrorist becomes known, hackers begin to turn 
to activism to get their message out. Through interviews with 
relatives, friends, lawyers, and experts in the computer and civil 
liberties arena, a picture of a great injustice becomes apparent. A 
cross country journey uncovers some realities of the hacker culture as 
well as the sobering reality that so many technically adept young 
people seem destined for prison.
