My point here, which seems to be lost on everyone, is that putting your neck out is a monetary (at least requires monetary) contribution. As for organising users together that is just a matter of good viral marketing. Fast internet is starting to spread fast anyway, with all this ADSL2 popping up. I think perhaps that better would be to get people to sign on for being part of the class action defense group as a part of running a server. I'm sure this would bring a lot of the broader civil liberties people into the fold.
