" From the Internet to the iPod, technologies are transforming our society and empowering us as speakers, citizens, creators, and consumers. When our freedoms in the networked world come under attack, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the first line of defense. EFF broke new ground when it was founded in 1990 — well before the Internet was on most people's radar — and continues to confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today. From the beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights.
Blending the expertise of lawyers, policy analysts, activists, and technologists, EFF achieves significant victories on behalf of consumers and the general public. EFF fights for freedom primarily in the courts, bringing and defending lawsuits even when that means taking on the US government or large corporations. By mobilizing more than 50,000 concerned citizens through our Action Center , EFF beats back bad legislation. In addition to advising policymakers, EFF educates the press and public. Sometimes just defending technologies Is not enough, so EFF Also Supports the development of freedom-enhancing inventions .
EFF is a donor-funded nonprofit and depends on your support to continue successfully defending your digital rights. Particularly Litigation is expensive; Because two-Thirds of Our budget comes from individual donors, Every contribution is critical to helping EFF fight-and win-more cases. "
time ago while surfing the net on the site www.digg.com there was an article quoted by a user, digg.com works in exactly this way, speaking of a Scandinavian guy who unlock the iPhone. In his site there was a link to EFF's website. For some things that were written are appalled by what that in the U.S.. However they have the opportunity to valire their rights through class action and the like, so finding the right because I wanted them too, make a small donation. A few days after my house got a letter, it did not mention that on the site, in which he thanked me for the donation along with stickers. :) E 'was a gesture that I appreciated very much.
