'Bottom-up' journalism from the pros

June 12, 2002 • Today's weblog

Calling all pithy writers: Coing-Boing blogger Cory Doctorow is also Outreach Coordinator for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He posts,

"EFF is going to do a new round of stickers (laptop-sized; bumper stickers are a little too big for most purposes). We're looking for suggestions -- any ideas?"

The samples seem aimed at the choir:

* Fair Use Creates Culture
* Copyright: A Carrot, Not a Stick
* Free the Spectrum 2.4!*
* Fair Use Has a Posse

Can you come up with some your neighbors might understand?

To post them where EFF will see them you need to pick a login and password at QuickTopic.

If you'd prefer not to register there, you may email your bumper poems to me -- make the subject "EFF" -- and I'll publish them here and then post them all together where EFF will see them.

*(If you're curious, here's an explanation at PC Magazine of the "Spectrum 2.4" in standard English.)
