================================================================ CMU PROFESSOR DAVID TOURETZKY - NO EXPERT ON THE 1ST AMENDMENT ================================================================ Carnegie Mellon University Professor David Tourtetzky's radically twisted interpretation of 'Freedom of Speech' encourages hatred, crime and terrorism. On the internet, David Touretzky has reproached minority ethic and religious groups. On his CMU website, he promotes homemade bomb instruction and illegal DVD decryption in defiance of the US Defense Departments funding to CMU to find ways to fight cyberterrorism. "This particular Web site seems to threaten some people yet at the same time Professor Touretzky believes he has a right to express himself as he sees fit." - Peter Madsen, executive director Center for the Advancement of Applied Ethics at CMU "I'm not taking Dr. Touretzky's view of the First Amendment as evidence. His testimony presupposes a view of the scope of the First Amendment on which he is not an expert, which is not a proper subject for testimony and which is ultimately for me and appellate courts to decide." - Judge Lewis A. Kaplan July 25, 2000 MPAA V. 2600 Faxhor REFERENCES: CMU PROFESSOR'S WEB SITE CAUSING CONTROVERSY http://www.wpxi.com/target11/2176679/detail.html "It's right there in plain English -- directions on how to make a fertilizer bomb. It's not on some terrorist's Web site. It's on the Carnegie Mellon University Web site of computer science professor Dr. David Touretzky, who refers to it as a free speech project." - Karen Welles, Target 11 Investigator DAVID TOURETZKY'S DISCRIMINATION http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/extremists/touretzky0.html "Hell, I'm for post-partum abortion! Retro-active abortion! Up until, say, the age of six months." - David Touretzky TRANSCRIPT OF TRIAL - DAY 6, MPAA V. 2600 http://www.eff.org/IP/Video/MPAA_DVD_cases/20000725_ny_trial_transcript.html "There is no doubt that yelling 'fire' in crowded theatre is something that is problematic and probably impedes expression by certain twisted individuals." - Judge Lewis A. Kaplan July 25, 2000
