And for those of you who haven't had a chance yet: You can officially

[2]Please help us make a splash as the book is released: Click here to
download Hacking Politics right away, while paying whatever you want.

Hacking Politics is the most comprehensive work to date about the SOPA
protests -- in which so many of you took part -- and of the glorious
defeat of that legislation.

It contains material by Lawrence Lessig, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Rep. Ron Paul,
Reddit's Alexis Ohanian, Cory Doctorow, Demand Progress's Aaron Swartz,
and many other esteemed technologists, activists, and artists... and even
an interview with Kim Dotcom.

It includes reflections on why and how the effort worked, but also entails
a blow-by-blow recounting of the 18 month battle against Washington,
Hollywood, and the Chamber of Commerce that led to the demise of SOPA and
PIPA.

[3]Just click here to download Hacking Politics -- while paying whatever
you'd like. It'll just take a couple of minutes for you to have your copy
in hand.

In ordering Hacking Politics you'll be buying (at whatever price you want)
a collection featuring dozens of essays by people who are at the vanguard
of Internet freedom activism -- and you'll be supporting our ongoing
efforts to keep the web free and open.

We hope that it will catalyze further activism as we continue the fight to
protect privacy and promote Internet freedom.

We owe a special thanks to O/R Books, which has helped ensure that Hacking
Politics abides by our values, by making it accessible to the public by
using pay-what-you-want pricing, and Creative Commons licensing. They're
helping us walk the walk.

P.S. Demand Progress was recently a guest on [5]The Flaming Sword of
Justice. It's a podcast that Aaron Swartz co-founded, and which is
carried on by his friend Ben Wikler. We talk Aaron, SOPA, CFAA, how
Demand Progress got going, and more. [6]Please click here to have a
