Precisely. Making it available to those outside the tents was the right 
thing to do, though saying so on a public mailing list brings extra 
dangers.

If the criminals involved in this case do try and take action then the 
only way to fight them, due to the unfair legal system, is to be poor. 
That is why the McLibel two were able to take on the 
criminalcorporation, while their fellows who had also distributed the 
leaflet had to get on bended knee to the criminals. Different law, but 
equally biased against the free flow of information and ideas.
