TITLE: EFF Web - The Electronic Frontier Foundation ACCESS: http://www.eff.org Anyone who keeps up with the news, or who explores the Internet on a regular basis, will be aware of the increasing interest among legislators in the type of information that is being so freely passed around on the so-called "Information Superhighway". What seems like the greatest source of information available to those who know where to look, seems like a breeding ground of dissent, or at least a potential risk to those accustomed to seeing a bit more control over the passing of sometimes controversial information. It should come as no surprise, for those aware of the quantity and scope of the resources available, that there are a number of Internet sites devoted to providing information on the topic of freedom of information as it applies to the Internet. A good place to begin to explore the issue of online information and free access to resources would be the Electronic Frontier Foundation Web site. The EFF WWW page also provides access to the current edition of the organization's Newsletter, as well as back issues and an index. There are collections of information to be found under "Special Collections", including "The Frontier Files Collections", a best of the EFF, and the online library of computers and academic freedom, featuring acceptable use policies, and collections of local and foreign computer crimes laws. This site also makes available the archives of Computer Underground Digest E-Zine (CuD), an electronic journal which provides news on intellectual freedom and the Internet, as well following the activities of the Internet community.

About Us Industry Electronic Frontier Foundation Countersuit Asserts Right To Use ReplayTV June 17, 2002 As we reported last week, the movie and television studios commenced federal litigation in Los Angeles against SonicBlue to prohibit or curtail its ReplayTV Electronic Frontier Foundation on behalf of a handful of ReplayTV customers who want the court to declare that ReplayTV owners have the right to digitally record television programs, fast-forward through commercials, and send shows to other devices. complaint said EFF Intellectual Property Attorney Robin Gross. "Rather than encourage innovation and provide customers with an experience worthy of attention, Hollywood intends to outlaw a new and promising technology," commented EFF Senior Intellectual Property Attorney Fred von Lohmann. "It’s just as alarming as the Betamax case of the 1980s when Hollywood tried to ban VCRs." Ira Rothken, attorney for the five plaintiffs, said he hopes to consolidate the new lawsuit with the studios' case against SonicBlue. The SonicBlue case is tentatively scheduled to go to trial in late summer, but Rothken would like the trial to be delayed if the cases are consolidated. Why This Matters: GET MORE INFORMATION:

The Blue Ribbon is Back
Page 1 of 1
05:03 AM Jun. 18, 1998 PT The Electronic Freedom Foundation announced Wednesday it is renewing its Blue Ribbon Campaign for Online Freedom of Expression in response to two bills currently before the US Senate. The campaign, in which Web site owners are asked to link their sites to the EFF's Congressional Action site, was first instituted in protest of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. According to EFF Executive Director Barry Steinhardt, the campaign is once again needed to raise awareness about Senate bills 1482 and 1619, which together represent a "foolish crusade to restrict protected speech on the Internet."

Today's Top 5 Stories
Both bills have cleared the Senate Commerce Committee and are expected to hit the Senate floor within the next three weeks. S1482, sponsored by Indiana Republican Dan Coats, is by the senator's own admission an attempt to revise the portions of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) that were struck down by the US Supreme Court one year ago.

Mission: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) was created to defend our rights to think, speak, and share our ideas, thoughts, and needs using new technologies. EFF is the first to identify threats to our basic rights online and to advocate on behalf of free expression in the digital age. Background: The Electronic Frontier Foundation was founded in 1990, along with the inception of the Steve Jackson Games case, a legal case that would establish that law enforcement must have a warrant that particularly describes all electronic mail messages before seizing and reading them. Since then, EFF has continued to identify threats to our basic rights online and to advocate on behalf of free expression in the digital age, through legal battles and public awareness and education campaigns. Based in San Francisco, EFF is a donor-supported membership organization working to protect our fundamental rights regardless of technology; to educate the press, policymakers and the general public about civil liberties issues related to technology; and to act as a defender of those liberties. Among our various activities, EFF opposes misguided legislation, initiates and defends court cases preserving individuals' rights, launches global public campaigns, introduces leading edge proposals and papers, hosts frequent educational events, engages the press regularly, and publishes a comprehensive archive of digital civil liberties information at one of the most linked-to websites in the world:

Barlow: Music Wants to Be Free

04:30 PM Jun. 15, 1999 PT SAN DIEGO Declaring that it's time to bury the forces that want to own music, John Perry Barlow ripped the music establishment for opposing digital technology, comparing its tactics against MP3 to the "war on drugs." Barlow's remarks came at the outset of the two-day MP3 Summit Tuesday, where his words could scarcely have failed to resonate.

Barlow a digital music supporter, songwriter, and chairman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation confidently outlined his views of music as a free form of expression. He lauded the coming of digital music as a boon to both artist and listener, but warned that both were up against a ruthless enemy resorting to every legal trick in the book to preserve its stranglehold on the music business. And he drew a parallel between the music establishment's current tactics and those employed by the United States in its war on drugs in the 1980s.

THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION The Electronic Frontier Foundation was established in 1990 to help civilize the electronic frontier; to make it truly useful and beneficial not just to a technical elite, but to everyone; and to do this in a way which is in keeping with our society's highest traditions of the free and open flow of information and communication. To that end, the Electronic Frontier Foundation will:
- engage in and support educational activities which increase popular understanding of the opportunities and challenges posed by developments in computing and telecommunications;
- develop among policy-makers a better understanding of the issues underlying free and open telecommunications, and support the creation of legal and structural approaches which will ease the assimilation of these new technologies by society;
- raise public awareness about civil liberties issues arising from the rapid advancement in the area of new computer-based communications media;
- support litigation in the public interest to preserve, protect, and extend First Amendment rights within the realm of computing and telecommunications technology;

The Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
United States Senate
Washington, DC February 9, 1998 Dear Senator McCain: I write on behalf of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to urge that the Senate make no further attempts to regulate speech on the Internet. Existing federal and state legislation covering such matters as the creation and distribution of child pornography and the solicitation of minors for sexual activity already provide sufficient tools to protect America's children. The new legislation under discussion will inevitably run afoul of the free speech protections of the First Amendment, just as Congress' attempt to impose an "indecency" standard on the Internet was struck down last year in Reno v. ACLU. Indeed, as the Congress considers new legislation it is worth noting the Supreme Court's warning that: The record demonstrates that the growth of the Internet has been and continues to be phenomenal. As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship. EFF is particularly concerned about the possibility that the Congress may seek to block access to "indecent" or "harmful" online material to schools receiving Universal Service Funds by requiring the use of filtering software. Filtering and blocking software is not the panacea that some of its advocates have suggested.

( www.eff.org/awards/pioneer.html I want to say a few words of thanks – and then briefly describe our work in terms of the larger issue of "transparency." But first – my thanks. Keeping our doors open these past 10 years has been a roller coaster experience. And I’m sure many of you who work in consumer nonprofits can relate. We have been fortunate to obtain funding support from a variety of sources. At the very beginning in 1992 we were funded by a groundbreaking program administered by the state of California, the Telecommunications Education Trust. Over the years we’ve also received support from lawsuit settlement funds like the Metromail cy pres fund that is keeping our doors open today, for example – and from foundations that support privacy (and there are not nearly enough of them), and from generous individuals. These supporters are listed on our website

    EFF Analysis Of The Provisions Of The USA PATRIOT Act
    That Relate To Online Activities (Oct 31, 2001)
    Text of USAPA
    Introduction
    On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act (USAPA) into law. With this law we have given sweeping new powers to both domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies and have eliminated the checks and balances that previously gave courts the opportunity to ensure that these powers were not abused. Most of these checks and balances were put into place after previous misuse of surveillance powers by these agencies, including the revelation in 1974 that the FBI and foreign intelligence agencies had spied on over 10,000 U.S. citizens, including Martin Luther King.
    A Rush Job
    The bill is 342 pages long and makes changes, some large and some small, to over 15 different statutes. This document provides explanation and some analysis to the sections of the bill relating to online activities and surveillance. Other sections, including those devoted to money laundering, immigration and providing for the victims of terrorism, are not discussed here. Yet even just considering the surveillance and online provisions of the USAPA, it is a large and complex law that had over four different names and several versions in the five weeks between the introduction of its first predecessor and its final passage into law. While containing some sections that seem appropriate providing for victims of the September 11 attacks, increasing translation facilities and increasing forensic cybercrime capabilities it seems clear that the vast majority of the sections included have not been carefully studied by Congress, nor was sufficient time taken to debate it or to hear testimony from experts outside of law enforcement in the fields where it makes major changes. This concern is amplified because several of the key procedural processes applicable to any other proposed laws, including inter-agency review, the normal committee and hearing processes and thorough voting, were suspended for this bill.
