So what's the sentence for the uploader? Is this really about the Green Revolution, i.e. anonymous computer programmers publishing censored media for the Twitter campaign? I'm really not sure which side of the aisle such programmers are working on in Iran these days, and maybe the Iranians don't know either. I suspect at this point it is not a Western-directed effort. Or was this guy siezed on a whim?
