EFF-Austin Membership Form                (Electronic version 17Sep93)

Computer-based communication media like electronic mail are creating
new forms of community -- the first settlements on an electronic
frontier. Our laws and cultural norms, however, do not properly define
the rights and responsibilities of the members of these new
communities. Conflicts come about as the law struggles with "places"
where fundamental notions of speech, property, and place take
profoundly new forms.

*Protect Your Rights on the Net*
Law enforcement activities in recent years, publicized as "cracking
down on crackers," were in fact seizing computer systems of innocent
parties and shutting down bulletin boards used by hundreds of utterly
innocent people. These activities, whether through ignorance or
malice, deprived many people of legitimate Constitutional rights,
chilled free expression and stunted the growth of the Net.

EFF-Austin was formed to protect constitutional guarantees of free
speech and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure for users of
computer networks. Experience has taught us that these freedoms must
be fought for if they are to survive in the online world.

*Join EFF-Austin*
EFF-Austin was created as an experimental local chapter of the national
EFF but became independent in 1993 while retaining contacts with the
parent organization. We're heavily involved in public speaking,
education, and advocacy of constitutional rights in cyberspace. We're
Austin's forum for discussion of all concerns related to the cutting
edge where society meets technology.
