Civil liberties in cloying song-form: the 12 Days of EFF

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Danny O'Brien sez,

EFF get the biggest chunk of its funding from individual donors, and a
lot of that money comes in right around now — at the end of the year.

Usually we do a quick summary of the areas our team of thirty lawyers,
techies and activists have worked on, civil liberties online, privacy,
fair use, free speech, protecting innovators, and battling overreaching
IP laws.

But after looking over everything we've tried to handle this year —
from our real-time US
election monitoring
system, to our ongoing fight against
warrantless wiretapping
, to keeping
an eye on Comcast's packet forging
, to defending
dancing babies on YouTube
, to representing whistleblowing MIT
students on the Boston MBTA
— we decided the only way we could
summarise it all was in traditional cloyingly seasonal song form.

You can watch the 12 Days of EFF
