This is very true.  In Boston, we've taken great care to distance
ourselves from the "Napster" case and all copyright-*infringment* issues
for exactly this reason.  It's not that we're anti-Napster; indeed there
are several virulently anti-copyright-in-all-forms people who show up each
well; it's just that we all understand that this is not the most effective
way to influence public opinion at this time.  One step at a time: first
free Dmitry, then repeal the DMCA, *then* those inclined can mount a more
broad-based attack on copyright (as I said, for those that have these
beliefs).

*However* we did get a *lot* of Green party cross-over at our first event.
As long as you tell the anti-globalization folks to "keep it on message",
they can be a valuable ally.
