Sweet Victory
It looks like the 11th Circuit sided with us in the DirecTV v. Treworgy case, and even cited the argument about standing from the EFF’s amicus brief (for once, I shall toot my own horn — I helped to draft part of this brief). As a result, DirecTV has promised that will no longer sue or threaten people for merely possessing Smartcard devices.

Also, I am currently trying to settle on an email account to which I can forward my post-Harvard email. Does anyone have any advice? I’m testing out my gMail account, but as someone who complains about privacy rights, this option feels wrong. Finch set up an account for me on his server, but I am not crazy about his webmail interface. My hotmail account gets too much spam because Network Solutions sold my jhu.edu address when I registered the Geeky Chic domain back in college. So, what to do, what to do?

I know plenty of people who are happy with Yahoo mail, if you’re looking for a free service, and if you want to pay, they’ve got 2 gigs now. 😛
It also depends on your goals. One of my main goals was to have a stable, unchanging address, and so I registered my own domain.. But that might not be so important for you.
Likewise, I don’t care much about webmail interface quality, because I archive my mail on my personal computer, and I only need webmail to check the latest messages during the day.
