Time to ORGanise
November 30th, 2005
The Open Rights Group pledge I posted about the other day has been successful. Even if you weren’t one of the first 1,000 signatories, you can still sign up if you want to support the ORG.
An excellent explanation of why the ORG is a good idea can be found here:
You have to fight these issues in the press. There is no other way to do politics these days. It has to be done in soundbites. There has to be a counter to the “piracy” rhetoric. That counter-rhetoric has to get everywhere. The pro-lockdown side can afford to have someone in every public policy consultation, someone lobbying on every bill. We can do that but it’s easier to coordinate one person working 40 hours a week than 100 people working 5 minutes a week. So therefore we should use the magic of money to consolidate that time into one person.
