The form on that page is meant for organizations, read what it says:
"Individuals: Go to the action pages at Access, CREDO, EFF and Free Press to add your name."

I think it's both. Yes, the Internet's more technical people will always be ahead of whatever the Government is proposing and enforcing. The masses won't be except for a short while at most. This is why you need to treat this as a political issue, too, otherwise you'll have your technical issues of escaping Government oppression of the Internet, but you'll always be persecuted.

#6Is this just a "We support this" or "Later, in a few years we will call / mail you for your donation"?
The pages lacks some informations, at least IMHO. Some contact details would also be great, not just a "site maintained by Free Press".
IMHO a good idea but a bit more informations would not hurt credibility.

#8I was expecting an Anders Breivik-style 1000-page rant about "the enemies" or some such nonsense.
Much more tame than expected.

In some ways, yes this is technological. Access to the internet is a technological problem. In other ways it is political. SOPA is an example of something writing more code would not solve (well legally at least). That is because it is telling us what we can and cannot write. As nerds, we tend to just want to skirt the political aspects of the internet. Unfortunately its become larger than ourselves. Its time to accept the world for what it is, and fight to keep our place we've built.
