EFF call for help

EFF:

Dear friend of digital freedom,

Did you know that Xerox color laser printers print a series of secret dots on every page that identify the time and date you printed a document plus the serial number of the
printer you used? EFF technologists helped break the code, and EFF then broke the story of this new privacy-invasive use of technology. Dozens of other manufactures hide similar tracking dots in their documents, and we're working to break those codes, too. And as always, we'll be there to make sure
that law enforcement officers and others do not misuse this information.

When technology collides with your rights--your rights to speak freely, to guard your privacy, to innovate, or to make fair use--the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is there. This year, we've fought to protect the confidentiality of bloggers' sources. We've fought new search and wiretap powers for the government through expansion of the PATRIOT Act and the federal wiretap law. We've fought the resurgent broadcast flag, which seeks to downgrade what you can do with television shows at the same time it makes your TV obsolete. We've fought to keep elections/voting machines honest and auditable. We've fought to protect innovation. We've fought to save orphan works, to promote anonymity, and to hold back the tide of punishing Internet regulation.

You've been a strong supporter of freedom in the past. As we approach the holiday season, please support EFF with a financial donation so we can break more secret codes in color laser printers and continue the fight to protect your rights.
