It will be until we form a group large enough to have pull like the ACLU (500k members) or the NRA (5M members).
The grassroots opposition to ACTA and SOPA were effective for round one, but we will lose in the long run unless get serious about organizing.
The EFF (eff.org) is a good start, but it needs more members.
Our tech-freedoms lobby could have the same model as the NRA and ACLU, lots of members to give it a clear mandate when lobbying and cash flow from effected industries for fighting legal battles.
Just imagine if we had a group with the weight of the NRA.
