The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been a pioneer in defining the cyberspace community and in protecting it from aggressive regulation by the government. Mitch Kapor and John Perry Barlow founded EFF after each had separate encounters with overly-aggressive FBI agents whose misunderstanding of technology had led them to believe that Kapor and Barlow may have been guilty of computer crimes. Barlow's history of the founding of EFF is compelling reading. During the founding of EFF, Kapor and Barlow wrote Across the Electronic Frontier , which describes EFF's mission. EFF's web site is an important place to frequent if you believe in civil liberties and the continued growth of the Internet.
Content is more important than flashy presentation.
