Yes, and that's why I think the first demo was such a great success. For
only three days planning we got a good number of people to attend, and 
excellent coverage on the UK's major news review program.

Yes, definitely. Hopefully the association with the FIPR
(http://www.fipr.org/)
will allow us to get articles in the National newspapers, before any future 
protests. 

Also, from the main Free Dmitry mailing list, here is a link to a good
description
of why encrypting books is Bad: http://www.visi.com/~tneu/pro-book.html

As usual it is a US oriented discription, but could be used as the basis for
a 
good flyer to hand out at libraries and places where there are a majority of
people
who don't know what DVD's or mp3's are. (Such as outside Parliament ).

Another good place to talk to people would be outside the Houses of
Parliament, as
there is obviously a reasonable number of mp's, journalists and other people
around
who we should try to get interested in Digital Freedom*.
Does anyway know when a good day to do some flyering would be ie when there
are going to be lots of mp's walking around, particularly those interested
in the internet ?

So where/when does everyone think the next protest should be ?

cheers
