You might want to take a look at Students for Free Culture, a group with which I was involved as a student (and am still peripherally involved). >From the http://freeculture.org/ website: "Students for Free Culture is an international chapter-based student organization that promotes the public interest in intellectual property and information & communications technology policy." You might be interested in checking out their chapters list, decorated with a map: http://freeculture.org/chapters/ They're a bottom-up chapter-based organization, so the global organization doesn't take a whole lot of direct stands. But local chapters do a lot of activism. http://freeculture.org/contact/ explains the best way to get in touch is to just email the discuss@ email list. -- Asheesh. -- "... an experienced, industrious, ambitious, and often quite often picturesque liar." -- Mark Twain _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
