La EFF

EFF es Electronic Frontier Foundation y (adivinable) tiene todo que ver con las TICs, con la digitalización signo de nuestra época y con los probables futuros de las redes y los contenidos que viajan a través de ellas; están definitivamente en contra de los monopolios y definitivamente a favor de la privacidad, la libre expresión y el "fair use" como límite racional a los derechos de copyright

Extracto de su presentación:

"From the Internet to the iPod, technologies are transforming our society and empowering us as speakers, citizens, creators, and consumers. When our freedoms in the networked world come under attack, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the first line of defense. EFF broke new ground when it was founded in 1990 — well before the Internet was on most people's radar — and continues to confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today. From the beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights"

Es de las cosas grandes de USA ese respeto irrestricto por las ideas y la acción (dentro de la ley) de todas las vertientes. El debate abierto y la presentación ante el juez de la causa cuando amerita hacen de sus ciudadanos quizá los más responsables del planeta, sin lo cual claro está no podrían tener tantas libertades

"Blending the expertise of lawyers, policy analysts, activists, and technologists, EFF achieves significant victories on behalf of consumers and the general public. EFF fights for freedom primarily in the courts, bringing and defending lawsuits even when that means taking on the US government or large corporations. By mobilizing more than 50,000 concerned citizens through our Action Center, EFF beats back bad legislation. In addition to advising policymakers, EFF educates the press and public. Sometimes just defending technologies isn't enough, so EFF also supports the development of freedom-enhancing inventions"
