[comp.dcom.telecom] Mitch Kapor Starts Electronic Frontier Foundation

telecom@eecs.nwu.edu (TELECOM Moderator) (07/10/90)

Mitch Kapor and others have formed a new organization called the
'Electronic Frontier Foundation' to assist in the legal defense of the
persons recently arrested in the Legion of Doom/Sun Devil case. In
addition, the new organization will attempt to protect the
constitutional rights -- as they interpret those rights -- of all
computer users.

A lengthy press release was issued Monday, with statements from Kapor
and other members of the organization outlining their plans. A special
double issue of TELECOM Digest will be issued later this week to bring
you complete details. It is in production now.
