Hmmm... looks to me like I was right about the PA and
perhaps other laws going completely against the 1st
ammendment.
This is derived from:

"Austin's probation stipulates, among other things, that (1) he cannot
possess or access a computer of any kind without prior approval of his
probation officer, (2) if his probation officer gives permission, the
equipment is subject to monitoring and is subject to search and seizure at
any time, without notice, (3) he cannot alter any of the software or
hardware on any computer he uses, (4) he must surrender his phone, DSL,
electric, and satellite bills, (5) he cannot associate with any person or
group that seeks to change the government in any way (be that
environmental, social justice, political, economic, etc.), and (6) he must
pay over $2,000 in fines and restitution. Austin must surrender himself to
the Federal Bureau of Prisons by September 3, 2003."
Read that carefully -- "cannot associate with any person or group
that seeks to change the government in any way"!!!
So he could not attend a rally to elect Arnold S. in CA.
I'd advise watching things like this very carefully as it looks to
me as if the government decides to outlaw nanotech or AI
or body enhancement or cryonics -- then the transhumanist agenda
is likely to become significantly constrained. In this particular
case it is interesting because it looks like one can place blame
on the executive, legislative *and* judicial branches of the
government.
