FSF Offers Resource to Digital Speech
Bradley M. Kuhn writes "The Free Software Foundation is offering resources, including an staff organizer, to the Digital Speech Project. This project seeks to organize people against technology control laws, like the DMCA and the proposed SSSCA. The Digital Speech Project has a website here."
Try changing that to "a staff".
"The Digital Speech Project was founded in February 2002 to coordinate digital freedom activism and advocacy across the United States."
You may not have noticed, but the same thing is happening in countries other than the USA as well.
Since the FSF is (indirectly) attacking many companies, some of whom WILL seek legal means to shut this community down, shouldn't we make ourselves seem more threatening to bait them so that we can give them a public relations problem ;).
Excellent site. It explains the DMCA, SSSCA and their effects in plain English. It's easy reading, so even one wo is casually motivated against these legislations can get more motivated.
Why this wasn't posted on the front page, I don't know. Many more would see this story and linked site.
Ack! My site's been slashdotted.
I'm the new activist at the FSF. I want to come speak at your school or for your community group, G/LUG, any group of sympathetic people. Tonight I'm speaking at Loyola University of Chicago. I'll help you get a campus group up and running. I'll provide news and ideas for your existing activist group. Time is of the essence, since the SSSCA is being pushed inexorably towards being voted on in the Senate.
When it gets back up, the website is http://digitalspeech.org; you can put yourself on the activists' mailing list, or you can just email me.
Let's get together and get our freedom back!
