Everyone: urge White House reporters to resist no-recordings "press briefings."

US citizens: phone your senators at 866-583-2908 to oppose Senate Bill 1460. That bill would reduce the regulations on fracking and new fossil fuel pipelines.

EU citizens: call your MEPs to oppose a ridiculous new copyright restriction.

Copyright law is too restrictive already. People must be free to share any published work. ("Sharing" means noncommercial redistribution of exact copies.)

To ensure that this right is not denied, commercially publishing or importing works with DRM should be a crime, and EULAs that ban sharing should be declared void.
