[Free-sklyarov-uk] Edinburgh USA consulate march?

[Ronan Burnett]

Hello all,

Just signed up for the list today.  I totally support the march in London, 
but being in Edinburgh it doesn't look like I or my friends will be able to 
make it.  I checked the digest to see if anyone had mentioned the following 
possibility, and didn't see anything like it (apologies if I'm repeating a 
previous idea).

Basically, there's an American Consulate (like a mini-embassy?) in Edinburgh 
on Regent Terrace (about 100 yards from the east end of princes street) and 
I'd like to organise a similar demo to the one in London for about 2 weeks 
from now (or maybe sooner if we can get organised).  I thought perhaps we 
could present the consulate staff with a cdrom, containing the names of all 
those opposed to the DMCA and Adobe's actions in an appropriate (open!) 
format.  I'd appreciate the irony of such an action.  A little march with 
placards and leafleting would also be part of the planned demo.

Asking around my friends, everyone (ok, all 5 of them) say they'd come.  What 
sort of support could we count on from those in the area (Scotland, north of 
England)?  If it looks like we would have a reasonable turn out then I think 
it'd be a worthy thing to do (if only to let us fierce notherners express our 
sincere displeasure with the DMCA, etc in person without having to travel 
hundreds of miles to do it).

Any thoughts on the suitability / appropriateness of this idea?  Who'd be 
interested in coming?

Kind Regards,

Ronan
