Sorry if I'm rehashing old news, but could someone tell me about the organization and where I could contact it? Thanks in advance. --- C. Matthew Curtin P.O.

That's true. It's called the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF). /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// John Guest ...osu-cis!n8emr!bluemoon!johng ...towers!bluemoon!johng (and johng@bluemoon when we finally get in the current maps) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I am forwarding this information for a friend of mine, and any other questions can be directed to him.

It's called the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF). ^^^^^^^ Actually, it's called the Electronic Frontier Foundation. You can reach them at: eff@well.sf.ca.us They also have two newsgroups on usenet: comp.org.eff.talk comp.org.eff.news Founders where John Perry Barlow (lyricist for the Greatful Dead) Mitch Lapor (Lotus) and the aforementioned Woz. Hope this helped.... Ralph Moonen rmoonen@hvlpa.att.com

I bet the WELL address still works, though. >They also have two newsgroups on usenet: >comp.org.eff.talk >comp.org.eff.news The .talk group is for discussion. The .news group, however, is moderated. They use it to distribute the EFF newsletter, called EFF News, to the Usenet world. If you don't get this group (which you probably do, since you are getting alt.hackers...), or you have an unreliable newsfeed and don't want to miss any issues, you can subscribe to recieve EFF News in Email by sending your request to effnews-request@eff.org. >Founders where John Perry Barlow (lyricist for the Greatful Dead) >Mitch Lapor (Lotus) and the aforementioned Woz. If you have not yet read John Barlow's article, "Crime and Puzzlement", you'd probably find it interesting to read. It tells the story of how operation Sun Devil prompted Barlow and Kapor to start the EFF. -- Cos (Ofer Inbar) -- cos@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu -- WBRS (BRiS) -- WBRS@binah.cc.brandeis.edu WBRS@brandeis.bitnet
