Hey there, I just noticed that you’ve blogrolled FreeCulture.org, and while I can’t find a clear profile of you on your website, you appear to be a student who is interested in free culture issues… which may perhaps make you interested in joining FreeCulture.org?

We’re trying to launch new groups on as many campuses as we possibly can in the fall, we’ve got about 10 commitments so far, from schools like Columbia, NYU, Bryn Mawr, Duke, Emory, Case Western, Cornell, Yale… The only currently existing group is the Swarthmore Coalition for the Digital Commons, which you may be familiar with because we sued Diebold, but next year is going to be really exciting!

If you haven’t been watching our campaigns closely, our last two projects were http://savetheipod.com and http://barbieinablender.org

The best thing that you can do if you’re interested in helping organize the movement, or perhaps start a group at your school, is sign up for our mailing list and introduce yourself!
