EFF file-sharing campaign

At last it seems that ppl are taking a stance in the conflict. EFF is one organization that has been more or less silent in the past. Now they try to counter the recent threats made by the RIAA.

    We need to face the fact that copyright law currently is broken. It is making criminals out of music lovers and technologists. College students are being sued, ISPs are being forced to rat out their customers, some members of Congress are calling for college students to be jailed for file sharing, the list goes on and on. But there are more than 60 million people in the United States alone who use file sharing–more than the number of people who voted for our current President. If we all band together and stand up for our rights, we can change the law.

Hopefully more ppl will get the point. If we truly live under a democracy we wouldn’t have to stand this nonsense, right? It makes we wonder why we don’t do a referendum here in Sweden regarding the implementation of the EUCD for instance. Instead of holding a pointless referendum on the Euro currency. One does affect us all .. one is just a sidenote.
