Black Box: A plea for mirror space -- from "Make My Day"

[BevHarris]

As you may know, Jim March posted a mini-stash of Diebold files. Over 750 posts at Slashdot and articles all over the place drove so much traffic there he surpassed the original Diebold download traffic (New Zealand) in just 20 hours!

This has already had an amazing result. We've just had three very, very large media hits and many more small ones. And, A NEW SOURCE SURFACED -- see below for a sample of the kind of information such activities can generate.

Jim asked me to post this:

==========================

"plea for mirror space!"

The files distributed at:
http://www.equalccw.com/dieboldtestnotes.html

were so big they hammered the small ISP. The main instructions files are up, but the big ZIP files are down.

We need high-speed mirror space. ASAP. EMail Jim at: [email protected] if you can help. These files really do have "fair use" written all over them, see also the EFF FAQ page on Fair Use at:

http://www.eff.org/IP/eff_fair_use_faq.php

===========================

The files are controversial, and you should think carefully for two reasons: 1) bandwidth and 2) possible retaliatory action.

That being said, this comes with a massive PR hit.

See below for the kinds of inside sources who have come out due to these kinds of bold citizen actions.
