Adam Savage wanted to give us a brief
synopsis of the history of the EFF, starting when somebody important
visited John Perry Barlowe at his ranch, somewhere on the prarie. The
founders took up the weapons of public speech and founded the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, which we refer to as the EFF. That
picture was dramatized by the three of them posing for the shot above.
One of the early battles was the blue
ribbon for free speech campaign. Once that battle was won, the porn
came out!
This was followed by working with Mark
Klein to protect the privacy rights of the online community. The EFF
was selling his book at the schwag table. Click his picture to find out
more about that.
This was followed by a knock-down
drag-out cage match between Barney the purple dinosaur and some Kung-Fu
videogame. There was wild cheering from the crown when the
videogame's winning was announced.
Then a fossil from twenty years into
the future came out to tell us that a better world depends on our
active involvement with it.
