I hoep this goes through. The EFF have been threatening to challenge my patent of the letter 'A'. After years of sponsoring shows such as "seasame street" I can't believe they are trying to shoot down our patents on wide ranges of general items. Just remember: anytime you use the letter "a" you owe me $.05

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

The EFF is awesome. THERE'S a group of people with their heads on their shoulders. Like the whole "RIAA vs. The People" the people report you should take a read through it if you feel so inclined. It makes so much sense it's scary.

I'm a member.. Where does it look like a fair democracy when patent abuses can't be challenged?

In a state that isn't a fair and open democracy.. in a state where big business theft and exploitation are the norm, elected representatives represent themselves and their pockets and ordinary people have lost hope of change that's where.

viva la revolution..

They are just creating more red tape and with each new law comes a new loop hole.
