Today Lulzsec wrote a public letter to the US FBI. It's a manifesto, a declaration of independence.

Later, Greg Maxwell released a 33 GB torrent of public-domain scientific papers, along with his own declaration of independence:

Wow...I read that too! Very interesting read. The tl;dr summary is: "Copyright is immoral, the academic journal publishing system is obsolete, and forcing people to pay $19 to JSTOR for 80+ year-old public domain journal articles is wrong. Lobbying the government to release thm will take too long and waste too much resources, so I'm just going to upload my previously downloaded repository of Papers from Philosopical Transactions of the Royal Soceity to piratebay instead."

Is it okay to post that entire manifesto text right in here to bitcoin forum. People may be afraid to visit the piratebay website.
