Parker Higgins is an activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, specializing in issues at the intersection of freedom of speech and copyright, trademark, and patent law. He talks about EFF role on the legal front of battles to protect online rights, including the Bills Anonymous opposed in OpBlackout, ACTA, SOPA and PIPA.

We are introduced to Aarons Law, inspired by the loss of Aaron Swartz who personifies the cost of judicial abuses for digital activists championing Internet freedoms.
