An example of what is developing into my biggest problem with EFF: an organization doing incredibly important work that at the same time has seemingly no scruples about muddying the water to gain attention and gin up outrage. It's hard to escape the thought that Blizzard is on this list because nobody cares about German frozen food companies, but everyone recognizes Blizzard.
How do you come to that conclusion? The German Big Brother Award is not an EFF event. It concerns itself with issues mostly relevant to Germany and is split into different categories. Blizzard "won" the in the consumer protection category.
I would also argue that it's wrong that nobody cares about frozen food companies. Germany has strong privacy laws and while not nearly enough people care, a lot still do. Companies violating employees right to privacy _is_ a big deal in Germany and gets top spots in the news.
