 Body Snatchers - Radical body parts as colonial trophies
Yagan was a Nyungar leader who played a key part in early indigenous resistance to white rule around the area now occupied by Western Australia's capital city Perth.
Yagan's first recorded act of open rebellion was the June 1833 spearing of a servant and the destruction of a mud brick home in reprisal for the shooting of an un-named Nyungar man who had been "stealing" from a settler's garden.
Yagan's head was then hacked off and later preserved over a smoky fire in a tree stump before being wrapped in a kangaroo skin.

 NPR : Yearning in Abkhazia
Yagan, now 87, is working to preserve Kebzeh for future generations, and to help it spread beyond Abkhazia's borders.
Yagan, along with Chirikhba and other officials of the country, recently brought a group of Kebzeh students to Sochi in southern Russia, from where they hoped to cross the border into Abkhazia.
Yagan was full of stories from the past and observations about life in Abkhazia -- one of which was his explanation of a third pillar of Kebzeh: "a tug at the heart" -- something that's common to many spiritual traditions.

Yagan went on to tell the Committee that the Grokster decision means the end of all small P2P companies - not because they are liable for inducing copyright infringement, but because they simply cannot afford to prove otherwise in court.
The real winner of Grokster, Yagan warned, may not be the record labels and movie studios, but rather rouge P2P developers who move offshore and go underground.
Lastly, Yagan asked the Committee to clarify the Supreme Court's decision on Grokster, noting that many new companies cannot be sure where they stand with respect to the law.

 eDonkey Converts To 'Legal' File Sharing - News by InformationWeek
Yagan's decision to take eDonkey to a private P2P model follows the demise of another file-sharing player, WinMX, whose Web site went offline last week.
Both decisions were driven by letters sent Sept. 15 by the RIAA to seven prominent P2P networks, demanding that they either implement technology acceptable to the RIAA or shut down.
Yagan also predicted that because of the Grokster decision and the RIAA's legal threats, file-sharing innovation in the U.S. will screech to a stop.

 Wired News: P2P Company Not Going Anywhere
But Jed McCaleb, founder and CTO of file-sharing network eDonkey, and Sam Yagan, president of the company, don't have to wonder whether the Hatch bill will affect their business.
Yagan and McCaleb said they do worry about lawsuits, but they try to stay focused on getting their message out to content owners instead of fretting that the copyright police might show up for coffee some morning.
Yagan points out that currently P2P users don't have the option of paying for content, even if they were inclined to, and said that it seems obvious that such an option should be provided, since legislation may change but won't stop the development and use of P2P systems.

 eDonkey Shuts Down - MetaMachine's president, Sam Yagan, makes the official announcement - Softpedia
Sam Yagan, the president of MetaMachine, the company behind eDonkey, said during the U.S. Senate Judiciary Hearing that the P2P network is closing down.
Sam Yagan’s decision was influenced by the sentence in the Grokster versus MGM lawsuit; MetaMachine’s president outlined that it means the end of all the P2P networks, because they will not afford the expenses implied by a lawsuit in which to prove that the copyrights were not infringed or that such behavior was not encouraged.
Still, Yagan warned that the winners of the MGM versus Grokster lawsuit will the P2P networks operating outside the US, because nothing stops them from continuing their activity.

Since Yagan's head was located in 1993, unsuccessful attempts have been made to get permission from the Home Office to exhume it and to repatriate it.
With the election of a Labour government, it seems possible that such attempts might be successful, and Ken is back in Britain at this moment seeking support for his case.

As Yagan continued, “The Grokster standard requires divining a company's "intent," the decision was essentially a call to litigate.

This isn’t illegal, and Yagan offers no argument that it is. Indeed, his testimony is artfully worded to give the impression, without actually saying so, that creating compatible software without permission is clearly illegal.

But still, early in 1996, the Yagan faction managed to kill two Turkish businessmen and a secretary in Istanbul, to avenge the deaths of three associates at Istanbul's Umraniye prison.
The Yagan group's last terrorist activity was recorded in January 2001, when it allegedly detonated a homemade pipe bomb and injured 10 in Istanbul crowds during the New Years celebration.

Yagan describes it and the "public" as I see it, are two entirely different entities, with entirely different interests and goals.
The survival of the producers is defined by their economic strength which, at least from what we have witnessed so far, never coincides with the interests of the public: where the producers *can* charge, they charge.
If in "rogue P2P developers" Yagan also includes open source developers, which he does IMHO, well I can only say that he is at least -- at the very least, sincere in what people from his company where insinuating on the internet after they figured how much they truly lost to open source.
