Digital Activism

I was dismayed to see today (on /. no less) that the Hollywood *AA types are working to sneak the Broadcast Flag back into our airwaves and into our electronics by tacking on legislation to an appropriations bill.

Personally, I think this kind of underhanded political action needs to be avoided. Major thanks to the EFF for pointing out this move. This type of behavior, and the fact that EFF caught it, pushed me over the edge. EFF needs people to support them financially in order to keep their vigilance against these sneaky lobbyists. I'm now a card-carrying member -- and I invite you to do so as well.
