I suggest that a later press release, once we have a website with a good 
"newbie" section, should be sent out to the mainstream press. As a result 
of the CDR's success, quite a few journalists are apparently looking into 
intellectual "property" issues... with good phrasing we could exploit that. 
I think creating mainstream press links should be a major focus for AFFS.
