Innovation
New ideas challenge the status quo. That's why people who make cool tools get so much heat from the old guard -- and their lawyers. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) thinks that innovation is inextricably tied to freedom of speech, and innovators need to be protected from established businesses that use the law to stifle creativity and kill competition.
