Computer Scientists Ask Court to Reconsider Gag Order in DefCon Case

By Kim Zetter, Wired News

Eleven computer scientists and researchers from institutions across the country have signed a letter in support of three MIT students who were barred from speaking at the DefCon hacker conference this last Sunday.

The letter was part of filings that the Electronic Frontier Foundation submitted to the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts asking a federal judge to reconsider his decision to gag the students with a temporary restraining order.
