seth finkelstein

Seth Finkelstein, computer programmer and activist, was one of the founders of the Censorware Project (CWP), and worked to raise public awareness of the dangers he perceived as being posed by popular content blocking software to unhampered communication. He was the unnamed inside source for the CWP, providing the information for a number of breaking news articles from 1996 to 2000 about censorware lists and practices, notably "Censor's Sensibility", published in Time in August, 1997 http://sethf.com/pioneer/red.php. In 2001 he was one of the recipients of the EFF Pioneer Award for his contributions "to decrypt and expose to public scrutiny the secret contents of the most popular censorware blacklists". Finkelstein has also received two DMCA exemptions from the Copyright Office for reverse engineering censorware.
