 Electronic Frontier Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a non-profit advocacy and legal organization based in the United States with the stated purpose of being dedicated to preserving free speech rights such as those protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution in the context of today's digital age.
The EFF argues that the decision as to what is spam and what is not resides with the recipient, not intermediaries such as ISPs, and that there are efficient spam filters available to the end-user.
EFF prevailed before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals with a decision affirming the "Betamax doctrine"—the rule following the Supreme Court's 1984 holding that a company that creates a technology cannot be held liable for copyright violations by users if the technology has substantial legal uses.

The non-profit EFF, which has 23 staffers, recently put up a database on its eff.org Web site to let worried users of pirate file-sharing services check to see if their screen names are listed on the over 1,000 subpoenas that have been filed by the RIAA for possible lawsuits.

 PAB [ifwp] EFF comments on IANA/NSI draft
EFF Board member John Gilmore said, "We believe that the latest IANA/NSI proposal does not follow the requirements set forth by the White Paper for protecting openness and free expression."

 NEA: News Release -- NEA Asks Court to Impose Sanctions On the Evergreen Freedom Foundation
EFF wrongly represented to the court that its agent had delivered the appropriate legal papers to NEA on April 23.
Moreover, NEA charges that EFF exhibited reckless disregard for the court?s procedures by failing to notify NEA of its motion for an order of default or its intention to obtain a default judgment, even though EFF clearly was aware of NEA?s intention to contest the charges filed against it.
The lawsuit filed by EFF stemmed from NEA?s efforts to support its affiliate, the Washington Education Association, in ballot initiative campaigns to increase compensation for teachers and to reduce class size -- issues that are among the highest priorities for teachers and parents among education reform activities.

 Re: EFF Statement on Leahy/Edwards Digital Telephony Bill
Because Leahy and Edwards "concluded that the passage of such a bill was inevitable this year", EFF is called upon to perform the one-eyed act in the land of the blind.
And, since the "groups" that EFF "represents" are not particularly powerful, EFF's efforts will inevitably be confined to providing language that helps the truly powerful groups (like the FBI -- which lest we forget is just the Clinton administration) get their way.
EFF is not an "opposition" group wrestling with the weighty issues of cyberspace politics.

 Supra EFF I - interconnects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The EFF I interconnects cable is not the latest model from Supra but it is still a very interesting design, which makes use of some special technique to minimize the skin effect of the cable.
EFF stands for Equalized Frequency Flow and it refers to the particular technique used to fight the dangerous skin effect.
The introspection capability of the EFF I is very good and certainly the efficient shielding technique is the main responsible here: this is one of the most silent and quiet cables I've ever tested: keep the noise (RFI and EMI) down and the detail will pop up naturally.

EFF was founded to argue that the emails traded by Steve Jackson Games's customers were more like letters or phone-calls than like conversations in a park, and so the police should get a warrant before reading them.
The coppers and EFF traded metaphors before a judge, and in the end, the judge liked our metaphor better -- and that's why the Man needs a warrant before snooping on your email (or he did, anyway, until the Homeland Security Enhancement Act shredded the Constitution).

EFF says the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) will add low-level computer intrusion -- already a crime under other laws -- to the list of "federal terrorism offenses," creating penalties of up to life imprisonment.
