Electronic Frontier Foundation

"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 isn't 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. Litigation is particularly expensive; because two-thirds of our budget comes from individual donors, every contribution is critical to helping EFF fight —and win—more cases."

Tempo fa navigando in rete sul sito www.digg.com c'era un articolo citato da un utente, digg.com funziona appunto in questa maniera, che parlava di un ragazzo scandinavo che aveva unlockato l'iPhone. Nel suo sito c'era un link che puntava al sito della EFF. Per alcune cose che c'erano scritte sono rimasto allibito per ciò che accade negli USA. Tuttavia loro hanno la possibilità di far valire i loro diritti mediante class action et similia, perciò trovando giusta la loro causa ho voluto anch'io fare una piccola donazione. Qualche giorno dopo a casa mia è arrivata una lettera, senza che sul sito ne facesse menzione, in cui mi si ringraziava per la donazione assieme a degli adesivi. :) E' stato un gesto che ho apprezzato molto.
