IP: A poem that says it all -- from one of my students (wish I

[Dave Farber <farber () central cis upenn edu>]

                First they came for the hackers.
        But I never did anything illegal with my computer,
                    so I didn't speak up.
              Then they came for the pornographers.
   But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway,
                    so I didn't speak up.
           Then they came for the anonymous remailers.
      But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi,
                   so I didn't speak up.
          Then they came for the encryption users.
    But I could never figure out how to work PGP anyway,
                    so I didn't speak up.
                   Then they came for me.
     And by that time there was no one left to speak up.
