Civil liberties in cloying song-form: the 12 Days of EFF

Learn more about this video and support EFF!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Danny O'Brien sez,

EFF get the biggest chunk of its funding from individual donors, and a lot of that money comes in right around now -- at the end of the year.

Usually we do a quick summary of the areas our team of thirty lawyers, techies and activists have worked on, civil liberties online, privacy, fair use, free speech, protecting innovators, and battling overreaching IP laws.

But after looking over everything we've tried to handle this year -- from our real-time US election monitoring system, to our ongoing fight against warrantless wiretapping, to keeping an eye on Comcast's packet forging, to defending dancing babies on YouTube, to representing whistleblowing MIT students on the Boston MBTA -- we decided the only way we could summarise it all was in traditional cloyingly seasonal song form.

You can watch the 12 Days of EFF here. Or just skip to where we really want you to be: on our our holiday donation page. Have a great holiday -- and a free and open 2009!

Newsweek just lit up the wiretapping issue better than any Internet coverage I've sen so far. There's still something to be said for mainstream media.
