CEA and Others Launch Digital Freedom Campaign
Oct 26, 2006
A number of groups have joined together to rally consumers against legislation - such as the audio flag bill - that is being supported by the recording industry.
According to a post on the Center for Democracy and Technology's blog, the Consumer Electronics Association and several other groups - including Public Knowledge, the Media Access Project, New America Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation - have launched a new Web site to promote what they're calling the "Digital Freedom Campaign."
The site doesn't pull any punches in explaining what the group describes as a "fight against the big recording labels & studios who are trying to restrict individual rights to use new digital technologies." Gigi Sohn, President of Public Knowledge (and a speaker at Tech Policy Summit), blogs about the campaign here.
As we blogged about in August, the Recording Industry Association of America recently launched its own consumer education campaign targeting college students.
