EFF Requests Help to Identify "Evil" Printers

Posted by Hemos on from the flagging-them-out dept.

jason writes "In preparation for a possible legal challenge, The Electronic Frontiers Foundation is requesting your help in identifying which printers are embedding traceable information in the documents they produce. Printer manufactures added this technology under persuasion from the government inorder to help combat counterfeiting operations, however this technology defeats the presumed anonymity most people expect from the documents they print."

    And trespass, and spike trees, and destroy heavy machinery, and violate maritime laws, and board ships that are underway that they do not own.

    Yes, it's a peaceable lot.
