No loss of due process. The grand jury only determines if from the 
evidence presented by the prosecutor if there is enough to begin a trial 
not guilt or innocence.....most of the time Grand Juries are just a rubber 
stamp. In this instance, I have no doubt that the Grand Jury didn'thave a 
clue but then lets face it. I wouldn't be surprised if the prosecution on 
the case didn't ask if any member was part of the [dvd-discuss] group ;-)

Does it occur to anyone that the grand jury is doing very sloppy rubber
stamping of the FBI's claims?  The fact that most members of a grand
jury are older probably means that for those of us in technology fields,
the grand jury is neither made up of our peers, nor is it populated by
any that would have the vaugest notion of the facts and issues involved.

Almost like having the Amish run traffic court...

Is there a due process challenge here somewhere?
