The Bitcoin community should be getting prepared politically, by setting up legal defense funds (including for the present case) as well as setting up lobbying organizations.

Cypherpunks run code.
The problem is that if you speak up publicly for someone they just go without a warrant to your house, take your computer and try to steal your Bitcoin and you may end up in custody. Thus speaking for someone may preclude your ability of running code. At the very least it is like saying: "I am a domestic terrorist. Come and take me."
