Interesting speech

Interesting speech by Cory Doctorow. It brings up some interesting things about copyright, EULA's, DRM, etc.

I would like to encourage people who read this to become a member of the EFF and FSF.

Other sites you might want to check out is the "Defective by Design" campaign by the FSF.

I would also like to encourage people to use their right not only to be a consumer of information, data and media on the Internet, but also a producer and distributor.
Get a blog, use your right to speech on the Internet!
Get an Internet radio station, and use your right to broadcast media.
Let your torrent client run in the background distributing your favourite Linux ISO and FOSS.

One thing I came to think of was how awesome blogs, Internet radio and YouTube and the likes are. Forums and wikis are awesome too.

License your work liberally, publish the source. Allow redistribution and redistribution of modifications.

I need a GNU poster to hang on the wall.
