Since when are corporations part of DC establishment?!? The EFF has indeed
created a strategic aliance with some corporations, since they have a lot
interests in common. Starting with keeping government's censor paws of the
usenet and going on to freedom of commercial transaction of Internet.
I am not one to put my trust in a 'knight in shinny armor, but methinks as
long as John Perry Barlow is around there is little chance of EFF "selling
out".
