Digital Freedom in the UK

At the OpenTech conference today, there was a debate around establishing a British equivalent of the EFF. This seems a very good idea to me - with the UK's ability to push legislation through parliament in a hurry, and the ambiguous situation regarding European legislation versus UK common law, a group prepared to fight test cases and lobby about Bills in parliament. I signed Danny's pledge. My only quibble is with the name - lets talk about Digital Freedoms, not Digital Rights, as DRM has polluted that term already.
