You know what the absolute best thing to happen to the net in years is, without a doubt?
The EFF!
Just take a look at their Top 15 Things EFF did in 2005 page. ‘Nuff said…
Need a little more encouragement before you see the light? How about the EFF standing up for pearLyrics when they were slapped with a cease and desist order by the recording industry for making it easier to find lyrics to your favorite songs.

Here’s even more encouragement. The government is trying to pull the VEIL over our eyes by closing the “analog hole”.

The bill leaves a hole, “wide-open” to allow them to change the rules, at will.
