With the indictment of Jon Johansen, I decided I'd make a list of all the programmers recently having or needing lawyers for their decryption or related work. Have I missed anybody here who should be on the list?

Dimitry Sklyarov - PDF decryption - criminal case

Jon Johansen - participating in DVD decryption program - criminal case

Unknown German - actual DVD decryption - anonymous

Matthew Skala and Eddy L.O. Jansson - CyberPatrol censorware - civil case

"Beale Screamer" - Microsoft lockware ("digital rights management") - anonymous

SDMI researchers (too many to mention all of them individually, but notably Felten, Craver, etc) - threats

Bennett Haselton - Cybersitter, I-Gear censorware - threats

Seth Finkelstein - various anticensorware work - 'nuff said
