Yes, more on scans_daily.

So, we're still working on our official mod statement - press release, if you could call it that - but in the meantime, stubbleupdate and I (with some behind the scenes input from schmevil) did an interview with comicmix.com. So if you don't want to wait to read about our account of the 28th, s_d's official position on fair use, and some hints of where we plan to take

I didn't ignore your question about help about the press release / statement, and I think I've scattered semi replies around (i.e., since you are a Kevin Bacon away from EFF people, actually talking with those people by phone might be a good idea).

My thoughts has sort of switched back and forth between wanting to write an Anonymous/The Pirate Bay type of manifesto and justifications for what scans_daily was in a legal sense; I've actually written down more of the latter though. Likewise I've been circling the idea of a http://yro.slashdot.org posting summarizing the situation, but put it off because:

I think other people have a much better idea of -- and have better articulated -- what s_d was and should be as a community than me. The couple lines about s_d's origins said a lot, for example. Boiling it down to "it was legal and Marvel is overreaching like a record label or film studio!" might be tactically useful, but it's a pretty empty vision of s_d.

On the other hand, the idea of putting some slash into slashdot makes me smile inside.
