Thanks for your views & comments. If you found the video via a news
story or blog, please share the URL.
One thing to clarify: at the time of
the suit, he was 18 months. In this video he is about 13 months and had just
learned to walk, hence the video.
If you're trying to contact me, please
call my EFF lawyers at (415) 436-9333. My father-in-law will talk your ear off
if you call him. You can also send a message via YouTube. Thanks.
