I agree. Kat hit the nail on the head. It's time to go back to basics and remember what we are really here for--building a free (as in freedom) encyclopedia to serve as a resource for people everywhere. By doing that, we are the true activisits, not skirmishers in the copyright battlefield. We are challenging the assumption that copyright = quality. Let's get back to our core mission, which will do more to weaken the restraints of copyright than any single-day squabble and yesterday's news ever will be.

Right on, Kat. Wikipedia is not about this sort of "civil disobedience", which is not helping us build an encyclopedia or increasing the circle of free content. Posting this silly key all over the place just encourages the companies to flex their legal muscles and find better encryption methods. What we need to be doing is be consumers and supporters of free content and free, unencumbered software. This silliness isn't helping our mission, and it isn't helping free content.
