Would the important information the EFF produces be easier to get to people who need it but don't have internet access if it was available as a published book or magazine?
I suppose you would need a lawyer and/or court case to know if a collection of posts from eff.org collated together and published in a short run on Lulu.com counts as a "published book", possibly available through the prison inter-library loan system, or a "printout from the internet" for this purpose.

Unlikely. An analog to this is prisoners subscribed to 2600 Magazine. They're regularly prevented from receiving them despite 2600 Magazine being a published periodical, assigned an ISBN, and available from several libraries.
