“MIT President L. Rafael Reif says he and MIT are standing behind students threatened by New Jersey with legal action if they don’t turn over detailed information about a ‘proof of concept’ project involving the online currency Bitcoin. ‘I want to make it clear that the students who created Tidbit have the full and enthusiastic support of MIT. Chancellor Cindy Barnhart and Provost Marty Schmidt met with the students yesterday. They and General Counsel Greg Morgan also spoke with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which is providing to the students, pro bono, the independent legal representation that they need.'”
