I've been doing some reading and everyone should take a minute to thank their local library: The ALA is one of the coolest, consumer-rights advocacy groups out there!
They've challenged (in court) the proposed broadcast flag recommended to the FCC, fought COPA in its various forms (mandatory censorship) and have opposed the PATRIOT Act and suggested major revisions to the DMCA!
While their interests are probably more accurately expressed as advocating free speech and free access to public information, they have championed the same causes as many technologically literate copyright reformers.
This is the kind of watchdog group I'm glad to have looking out for me.
