Except he had found the

EFF Media Release: 2002 Pioneer Awards: Gillmor, Givens, DeCSS Writers (Apr. 11, 2002) As the rest of the DeCSS writers have decided to remain anonymous after witnessing the action against Jon, he has been chosen to accept the award as the public face of the work. He has willingly put himself at great risk to defend the rights of all of us, and EFF applauds his courage.
"We, as a community of people respecting rights in technology, do not take enough opportunity to honor our own," stated Shari Steele, Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "Dan {Gillmor}, Beth {Givens} and Jon {Johansen} are shining examples of the spirit and energy that make the Internet great. We're proud to present them with this year's Pioneer Awards."
