I like this.

The award itself is pretty cool.

In April, Privacy International will hold the 5th annual US Big Brother awards to celebrate the invaders and champions of privacy. The ceremony will be held at the 2004 Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conference.

"Orwell" statutes will be presented to the government agencies, companies and initiatives which have done most to invade personal privacy. A "Lifetime Menace" award also will be presented.

Brandeis Awards will be given to champions of privacy. The Brandeis Award is named after US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, who described privacy as "the right to be let alone." The awards are given to those have done exemplary work to protect and champion privacy.
