Join your fellow students and American Express m support of the 10th Annual Hunger Cleanup. I On April 16th, students from your school and local residents will pitch in together, participating in a nationwide event that assists worthy causes while helping to improve community life across the nation. The Hunger Cleanup is a three hour "work-a-thon" where you take part in a community work project such as painting a shelter, cleaning a playground, or starting a neighborhood food garden. And the funds you raise in sponsorships for your work will be distributed by the event's organizer - the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness. i Your school is among 190 participating this year, making Hunger Cleanup the largest one-day community service event in the country. American Express salutes all the volunteers and is proud to be the sole national sponsor. Since 1984, Hunger Cleanups have raised almost a million dollars, with the help of over 70,000 students. People like you, making all the difference in the world. t To get involved with Hunger Cleanup, call 1-800-NO-HUNGR. jiq _ To apply for the American Express Card, call 1-800-446-5393. iSTf, i R I 1994 American Express Travel Reilated Services Company.

"I think criminal cases are gener- ally lousy cases," Godwin said. "Let's face it. The average person on the street thinks that a person in a I criminal case is guilty. It's much better to have a civil suit where your guy is presumed innocent." Philip Greenspun G, a student at ]Beatasr t~his the AI Lab, helped establish a defense fund to raise money for -. \ LaMacchia. The fund was estab- i lished because "an individual involved in a constitutional test case is faced with the certainty of stag- "I'~ a .f.ree couurtry'I gering legal bills as well as the pos- sibility of imprisonment and fines," according to an electronic document provided by Greenspun. According to a list of contribu- coeSstuff so~ only far. tors maintained by Greenspun, the X^C XA f L & S S f-S^ U fund had raised nearly $6,000 by ^S^*^L^ ^ a8 last night. A majority of the 31 named contributors are students at MIT. Public misconception Much of the public attention to LaMacchia's case has focused on whether or not LaMacchia is guilty of the charge made in the indict- ment. Dozens of Usenet messages and letters to The Boston Globe have tried to judge LaMacchia's aiieged actions, based on the charges made by the government. Speculation about the trial's results illustrates a common differ- ence between the legal community and the lay community, particularly the kind of people you find at MIT, Davis explained. "The legal system at large has an enormous faith in this case law process. If you ask about a novel sit- uation, a legal person will say, 'We ME don't know yet. Let's wait and see WE [what the courts say].' ... Engineers and scientists will tend to argue about what is right. They say, 'Let's figure this thing out,' " Davis said. m Godwin agreed, noting that sci- entists and engineers often lack a good understanding of the specific laws and precedents involved in a It's everywhere case. "Almost everything that a sci- entist or engineer at MIT says about -you-want, to be" the law is wrong," Godwin said. "People look at the alleged state- ment of the facts and say, 'That's wrong.' We know it's wrong to trade in unlicensed software, but the proceeding is whether he violated a statute," Godwin said. Particularly misleading in this case is the public misconception that the case is at heart a software piracy case, Silverglate explained. The normal protection for copy- right software does not apply in this case, Godwin explained. "One of the elements of the criminal copy- i G) Visa U.S.A.
