less talk, more action...

Instead of whining about the fact that we are losing our fair usage rights, here are five concrete steps that you can take:

1. Become a member of EFF at https://www.eff.org/support/joineff.html
   They are one of the few folks who are putting their time and money where their mouth is and fighting back.
2. Buy some "stop the MPAA" stuff at http://store.yahoo.com/2600hacker/a ntimpaa.html
3. Order a DVD player with country codes disabled at http://www.codefreedvd.com/dvd_dvdpla yers.htm
4. Write to your Representative in the United States House at http://www.house.gov/writerep
5. Write to your Senators at http://www.senate.gov
   

I am reminded about people who complain about politics. I always tell them "If you don't vote, shut the hell up". I guess I am saying the same thing here.

I would love it if people replied to this comment with other action items that people could do.
