Dear Jon Davies,
* Our ORG Law Fund campaign has nearly reached its target! *
We now only need *30 more paying supporters *– thanks to the generosity of
many. We’re nearly at enough to fund a part-time Legal Officer for ORG.
*Please help us reach our goal and get to 150 by
Christmas!*<http://www.openrightsgroup.org/join/join-law-fund>
It isn’t just about cases like Golden Eye.
We let MPs and companies know there is someone out there who will intervene
on your behalf and defend digital rights in every way possible.
There are more and more arrests, like Paul Chambers, for social media
communications.
The BPI are increasing the number of web blocking injunctions with
insufficient transparency about what will be blocked.
These cases could easily affect you:
You could be arrested for a joke on Facebook, find your website blocked and
see your personal details meekly handed over to private companies by your
ISP.
ORG needs to be able to intervene in the courts on these issues. We have to
fight against those who, as Cory Doctorow
says<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFwdYsnBjlQ>lQ>,
want to see the internet become a place of censored views and unaccountable
mall-cop authority.
Please consider donating £5 a
month<http://www.openrightsgroup.org/join/join-law-fund>to ORG.
We also offer a reduced rate for students and the unwaged at £5 a year
<http://www.openrightsgroup.org/students>– every supporter makes our voice
more powerful.
*Please help us make our goal*
Sincerely,
Ruth Coustick
P.S. If you are in London on Monday we’ll be having a Christmas party/
London supporter meet-up <http://www.meetup.com/ORG-London/events/74016472/>,
please do come along and join us for a drink.
If you wish to opt out of future emails, you can do so
