Background on EFF

The EFF is an interesting organization people by both total lefties and ultra-conservatives. I've followed it since its inception in the mid-90s, particularly because some of the people I find noteworthy like John Perry Barlow, Esther Dyson, etc.

Mytake on them? They're very influential at certain levels of government in the US, mocked by many other levels and by many people in the technology industry and they're pretty obscure and unknown in Canada.
