    "On Thursday, Judge Jeffrey White of the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of California issued a permanent injunction
    preventing further distribution of the material (attached). Cisco
    Systems, Inc. and Internet Security Systems, Inc. v. Michael Lynn and
    Black Hat Inc. United States District Court, Northern District of
    California."

    Your point seems to be that because your name was not listed in the list
    of Defendants, nor were you referenced in a Does 1-99 placeholder, that
    the order does not apply to you.

    I know you're not suggesting that copyright law no longer applies to
    you, or that the .pdf lost its copyright protection the moment somebody
    put it on the Internet.

    If you're saying that Judge White's order doesn't apply to anyone other
    than the named Defendants, and that until the order is expanded to
    include the whole of the citizens of the United States, et seq, there is
    no trade secret protection afforded to the document, then I invite you
    to attempt to sell it to a foreign government and we'll see how well you
    are able to convince the court that you did not engage in espionage
    because the material was no longer a trade secret.

    Sincerely,
