CAFE 2002 - a Benefit for EFF's Campaign for Audio-Visual Free Expression
Thursday, August 22nd, 2002 / 9pm - afterhours
$10

Join the hottest DJs of the electronic dance music scene, celebrity boxers, 
and the foremost cyberspace activists as we party to protect the future of 
music. You'll hear world-class DJs, live acts, and producers from all parts 
of the fast-growing electronic music community. All proceeds from the event 
will directly benefit EFF's CAFE project, helping to preserve your freedom 
to express yourself in innovative ways.

The night features world-class electronic music artists and a special 
treat: celebrity boxing with Wil Wheaton and Barney! Wil Wheaton, of Star 
Trek: The Next Generation and Stand By Me fame, will take on Barney in a 
celebrity boxing matchup for the history books. Watch and see if Wil with 
his backing from EFF can protect free speech and parody on the Internet and 
defeat Barney and his team of corporate lawyers. This bout is inspired by a 
similar fight featured on the website WWWF Grudge Match, which has faced 
its own Barney-related legal hassles.

The Campaign for Audiovisual Free Expression (CAFE) empowers the creative 
community in cyberspace by protecting the public's access to and use of 
audiovisual technologies. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading 
civil liberties organization working to protect rights in the digital 
world. Founded in 1990, EFF actively encourages and challenges industry and 
government to support free expression and privacy online. EFF is a 
member-supported organization and maintains one of the most-linked-to 
websites in the world at http://www.eff.org/
