How do I get Cisco to give me the source code for my video camera?

Cisco bought the company that made the "Flip Video" video cam. So, this video cam runs on open source "copy lefted" software. Now Cisco took a hit in their wallets when one of their routers went open-source so they killed it. Now they are doing the same with my video cam. How do I make them give me the source code? It’s a contractual obligation of the copyright on the software.

Cisco will probably just give you the runaround if you try to deal with them yourself. Keep in mind most of the tech support and customer service reps you would be talking to probably have no idea what "open source" even means.
Best bet is to get in touch with the EFF. They can put you in touch with the right representatives at cisco or even lobby on your behalf.
