* EFF CELEBRATES 20TH ANNIVERSARY WITH NEW ANIMATION BY
NINA PALEY
This week marks EFF's 20th anniversary! To thank you for
your support over these two decades, please enjoy this new
animation created especially for us by celebrated
cartoonist and free culture activist Nina Paley. The short
cartoon highlights some of the reasons why EFF is here:

* EU ACTION UPDATE: KEY DEADLINE FOR EU DECLARATION ON ACTA
EXTENDED
Fantastic news! Thanks to the efforts of committed allies
and EFF activists in the EU, more than 300 Members of
European Parliament (MEPs) have signed the Written
Declaration opposing the worst parts of ACTA, helping
extend the deadline for obtaining the remaining 69 MEP
signatures to 9 September. This victory gives EU citizens
much-needed time to urge the European Parliament to take a
stand against ACTA -- the infamously secretive effort to
curtail freedom on the Internet worldwide.
Keep the pressure on! Contact your MEP today:

EFF Updates
* Fight Against Telco Immunity Continues
EFF has filed our reply brief on behalf of the 32 pending
lawsuits in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals challenging
the retroactive immunity provision of the FISA Amendments
Act. The brief explains the chief constitutional problem
with the law: Congress improperly gave the Attorney General
the ability to selectively repeal laws passed to protect
telecommunications customers from surveillance, as well as
removing the protection of the Constitution from their
communications and communications records.

* Stephen Colbert Speaks With EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn
On Monday evening, EFF's Cindy Cohn squared off against
conservative pundit, talk-show host and astronaut Stephen
Tiberius Colbert. In a hard-hitting in-depth interview,
Stephen and Cindy sparred over the most important issues
facing the Internet today, including Hitler jokes, the
Second Amendment, and Beer Cat.

* CFAA Prosecution of Wiseguys Not So Smart
EFF and a coalition of academics and public policy groups
are urging a federal judge to dismiss a criminal indictment
that could give websites extraordinary power to dictate
what behavior becomes a computer crime.

* Don't Turn COPPA Into Age-Verification Mandate
Expanding the age-range for the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act (COPPA) could drastically change the way
everyone uses the Internet -- not just teenagers.

EFF established the Pioneer Awards to recognize

technology. This is your opportunity to nominate a
deserving individual or group to receive a Pioneer Award
for 2010. The International Pioneer Awards nominations
are open to individuals and organizations from any

chosen for their knowledge of the technical, legal,
and social issues associated with information technology.
https://www.eff.org/awards/pioneer/
How to Nominate Someone for a 2010 Pioneer Award:
You may submit as many nominations as you wish! This year
we've made it possible for you to nominate someone

to the health, growth, accessibility, or freedom of

addition, while anonymous nominations will be accepted,
ideally we'd like to contact the nominating parties in

3. The contribution may be technical, social, economic,
or cultural.
4. Nominations may be of individuals, systems, or
organizations in the private or public sectors.
5. Anyone may nominate a potential Pioneer Award
