Reminds me of an old Japanese story about the three blind men playing a game of Paper Scissors Stone. They'll never be sure they're doing it right.
I think he is talking about an activist panic button for data. Too many cops smashing cameras.
It’s very tough without a confederate. Once you get it into friendly hands, even for a few minutes, they can spread it from there. Those international forces of evil probably have a server or two down in the old volcano lair. This "confederate" can be some service that copies data to many places like Freenet, CoralCache, etc.
If you don’t have confederates the game is very different. You are then trying to get a piece of data into the hands of many many people who are not previously expecting it, on the hopes that a few will read it and act. That’s pretty much the definition of spam, no?
Two of the most workable suggestions there seem to be getting it onto 4chan, and getting it to the pirate bay guys (via irc). Whatever your views on the pirate bay (pirates!) and 4chan (pedos!), it seems to me that they provide an important service.
There would seem to be a vested interest for the powers that be to shut these venues down. I think for this reason alone the rest of us ought to support them, even if we don't agree with _everything_ they stand for, or do, or enable.
ThePirateBay is in a position to make a fight for this (4chan woudn't last 10 minutes, Tor doesn't have the profile, resources or users), and I stand by them.
