Copyright troll lawsuit blows up in face of Righthaven

All the more reason to sign up as a regular donor to EFF.org, even if it's just $5/month. If every developer, designer, software engineer, computer scientist, and new media professional who depends on unencumbered knowledge and information for their livelihood did just this small bit, EFF would be even more capable in its defense of intellectual freedom, and better able to prosecute all of these ridiculous patent/copyright trolls back to hell.

For anyone here who hasn't, here's a clickable: http://www.eff.org/

Hmm, the only question now is Visa, Mastercard, or Paypal?

I'm torn.

I used to give money to EFF, and I support a lot of the same causes they do. But the last couple years or so their PR tactics have shifted noticeably into the sort of gross alarmism/hyperbole that does more harm than good to those causes. So I'll find other ways to support the things I care about.
