    This kind of Government over-reach is exactly why we have founded the Open Rights Group - read the detailed analysis and rebuttal of Clarke's proposal there.
    Join the 800+ of us already supporting ORG by signing the pledge to fund it.

    I've ranted before along the same lines. I'd kick in $100/year to buy some Senators who support expanding the fair-use rights of consumers, but only if enough other people kicked in so we'd reach $1,000,000/year. Anyone want to start it over at PledgeBank?

  8. *do* read this by thisoneguy · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Open Source Methods Useful Way Beyond Software

    This is really quite an eye-opening survey of the broad and already-demonstrated applicability of "open source" principles beyond the domain of software. There's something very stirring and promising about the potential of things like Ohmynews , PledgeBank and TheyWorkForYou. This is about us and what *we* can do.
