"How is it you folks have gotten away with not getting shut down by the powers-that-be?" is the question most frequently asked of Cryptome (www.cryptome.org) since its inception in 1996. Post-9/11 H2K2 is an opportune time and place to reconsider implications of this question with Cryptome founders John Young and Deborah Natsios, New York City-based architects (of bricks and mortar), who will discuss their means and methods of sustaining activism in the face of opposition, with reference to ongoing cases.
