AWhiteFlame writes "IPAction.org is reporting on a section of the Reform Act of 2006 that's very shocking and surprisingly not that publicized.

New PAC Tackles IP and Tech Innovation
oddlyenough writes "I've been helping to launch IPac, a new political action committee that works on IP policy and technical innovation.

We started this IPac because despite all of the wonderful, important work of groups like EFF, Public Knowledge, et. al, there wasn't a way to funnel the energy they create into the electoral process. You can read some coverage on us here." -
