Memorial Day Weekend

May 24, 2024

There’s a weird trend in our space of ersatz anarchists more or less begging for federal protection of their files. Just a sample:

One day someone is going to get tired and do something. We talk a lot about direct action. Where is the person with the conviction to actually do it? You can make empty threats online all day but if you don't have the gumption to follow through, fuck off. https://t.co/Jq3uqJasLk

Big maudlin. One blanches.

It’s become a convenient piece of rhetoric that no one can sue DEFCAD because they’d have to give up anonymity. This is, of course, not true. Our Everytown case was, in the end, about your right to proceed anonymously. I support your right to proceed anonymously. The reason you don’t sue is because you got the law wrong on copyright. That and because you’re a huge pussy.

Anyway, I wrote a paper to commemorate the great pirates who lit our way. They pillaged so we could plunder.
