I can't really feel like this is "pro-Internet" rather than "pro-Keep your money grubbing hands away from our profit centers."


Yes, this sounds like a group that will really look to support privacy and personal freedom. =-(


They should keep a close relationship with the IDL (http://internetdefenseleague.org ), even if their goals won't always be %100 compatible. But any opportunity IDL can get this group to fight with them against laws like SOPA, would be a good one.
