The Register wants the EFF to curl up and die

The Register, never averse to poking a hornet’s nest, stirred up a swarm of of activity yesterday when it ran an editorial piece bashing the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The EFF is a non-profit group that promotes digital civil rights, but the Register argues that their work is, er, less than effective. The EFF has recently agreed to argue one of the legal cases against Sony over their “rootkit” software, and the Register ain’t happy.

The Register certainly isn’t giving any credit where it’s due, but Ars sets some of the record straight. Check out the posting here.
