[LINK] Fwd: CFP2004 Registration Is Open

[Roger Clarke]

The Computers, Freedom & Privacy conference is an important event; 
so I draw the registration call to linkers' attention.

(I regret that I won't be there.  As I notified to link last year, at:
http://www.anu.edu.au/people/Roger.Clarke/DV/NotesCFP03.html
the extremist authoritarianism of the US Administration is such that 
the country is off my travelling agenda for the foreseeable future).
