Meanwhile, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, its legal nemesis, exists on a total annual budget of $2 million, doled out in small checks to fight government and industry opponents in battles over online song swapping, privacy, computer hacking and other Internet related issues. "We are defending the constitution," says John Perry Barlow, 55, a former Grateful Dead lyricist, cattle rancher and writer, who co-founded the EFF in 1990. "The desire to share information is second only to sex and basic survival in terms of human motivation. The record labels and movie studios are convinced they have the means to control this, and we can't allow that to happen."
Extractions: Welcome to the homepage of the Student Elecronic Frontier Foundation. MISSION Imagine a world where technology can empower us all to share knowledge, ideas, thoughts, humor, music, words and art with friends, strangers and future generations. That world is here and now, made possible with the electronic network the Internet with the power to connect us all. And future developments in technology will enable us to access information and communicate with others in even more powerful ways. But governments and corporate interests worldwide are trying to prevent us from communicating freely through new technologies, just as when those in positions of power controlled the production and distribution of or even burned books they did not want people to read in the Middle Ages. But only by fighting for our rights to speak freely whatever the medium whether books, telephones, or computers can we protect and enhance the human condition. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) was created to defend our rights to think, speak, and share our ideas, thoughts, and needs using new technologies, such as the Internet and the World Wide Web. EFF is the first to identify threats to our basic rights online and to advocate on behalf of free expression in the digital age. WHO WE ARE We are a registered student group at the University of Illinois furthering the mission expressed above. Specifically, we, as a group, work to oppose legislation limiting individual rights online through direct political lobbying, informational campaigns, and letter writing. We also plan to host two workshops relating to civil liberties online.

EFF Media Release: Conviction Of Scientology Critic Henson Raises Free Speech Is Press release expressing concern that H. Keith Henson's constitutional right to free speech was violated, and that he was not allowed to defend himself properly. Electronic Frontier Foundation http://www.eff.org/Legal/Cases/Scientology_cases/20010622_eff_henson_pr.html
Extractions: San Francisco - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today expressed concern over a California court conviction of H. Keith Henson in a case involving online criticism of the Church of Scientology (CoS). In a decision which appears to have violated his constitutional right to free speech, a jury in Riverside County convicted Henson of threatening the free exercise of religion by members of the CoS. "We are deeply concerned that the decision violates Mr. Henson's free speech rights," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "Since he does not appear to have made any credible threat of physical attack as required for conviction under the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Henson has a legal right to express criticisms online without fearing a prison term." On April 26, 2001, Henson was convicted of threatening to interfere with the CoS members' freedom to enjoy their constitutional right to the free exercise of religion. Although official trial documents are not yet available, the verdict seems based on Henson's activities while picketing the CoS desert compound and postings on the Internet alt.religion.scientology newsgroup. It appears that the postings admitted into evidence included only fragments of longer postings or threads taken out of context. For example, the defense was apparently prohibited from showing that a comment about "cruise missiles" was made in response to a joke about actor Tom Cruise. The trial judge also allegedly forbid Henson from explaining why he was protesting Scientology.

Classic quote: "I've been asked to explain why I don't worry much about the topics of privacy threat raised by this panel. And I don't. One reason is that these scenarios seem to assume that there will be large, monolithic bureaucracies (of whatever character, political or economic) that are capable of harnessing computers for one-way surveillance of an unsuspecting populace. I've come to feel that computation just doesn't work that way. Being afraid of monolithic organizations especially when they have computers, is like being afraid of really big gorillas especially when they are on fire." comp_game_designers.article

EFF: Privacy Now! Campaign for online privacy and security includes news, links and resources. http://www.eff.org/privnow/
Extractions: SEARCH Right now there is a lack of awareness about how extensively personal information that has been collected is used on the Net and to whom this information is shared. Most don't realize the vast information sharing chain that exists once a company or governmental agency obtains your personal information. In some cases, personal information about you that will be shared might contain only a name and an email address. Oftentimes though, personal information can include name, address, email address, social security numbers, URLs for web sites you've visited, as well as other information that may have been built up about you in a profile. Why does this matter? Aggregation of data from different sources allows others to form opinions of you, to market items to you in a specific way, or to possibly discriminate against you, based on a profile that may or may not be accurate. Unwanted disclosure of information often has similar consequences. Consequences can range from simple embarrassment to serious problems such as harassment, violence, insurance cancellation, loss of job or home, and relationship issues with family and friends. To help raise awareness and to give you a way to fight back, EFF has launched an ongoing privacy campaign to show clearly the long, convoluted path that your personal information makes as it is shared among a myriad of organizations.

Internet and Law By Kevin Poulsen Published Friday 16th March 2001 02:58Â GMT Aggressive anti-spam measures by Dallas-based ISP Verio have stripped some of the Internet's digerati of the ability to send e-mail, and Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) co-founder John Gilmore is calling it censorship. Gilmore's home network includes what anti-spam crusaders call an "open relay" a mail server that accepts and forwards e-mail from anyone. For decades, the practice was considered central to good network citizenship. But in recent years, spammers have begun hijacking open relays to multiply, sometimes a thousand fold, the number of junk messages they can send at once. That abuse sparked a campaign by anti-spam activists to close the open relays, a campaign that Gilmore, an entrepreneur, electronic civil libertarian, and EFF co-founder, has little use for.
