If you haven't seen this, please watch it:

http://lessig.org/freeculture/free.html

Yes, it's a big download. But if you care about your rights being taken away by big companies like Microsoft and Disney, watch it. If you are motivated enough to do *anything* convince someone else to watch it. If you are still motivated, donate to the EFF at:

http://eff.org

I've personally met Larry Lessig and several folks heavily involved with the EFF, including back before this movement was really even started. These are good people on a very good mission. They need *your* help. Well, only if you care about freedom.

Oh, and for the record, I'm no radical Disney or even Microsoft hater. I don't love MS software, but I do pay for and use it. I do buy Disney movies and watch TV on ABC.

But current copyright laws like the DMCA make it illegal for me to make my own copy of a DVD to stick in the car for the kid to use on trips. Lots of people do it, but it's ILLEGAL right now. The implications for the current copyright laws in our country are getting *far* worse than better. We need to work to stop this kind of thing.

I expect to receive $20 million from a banker in Nigeria soon. I would like to donate ALL of it to this cause.
