When Microsoft and the RIAA square off, the letter of the law isn’t really the battlefield. The battlefield is influence with the US Senate, and the EFF, while well regarded, is a Sancho Panza compared to Microsoft.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoMicrosoft won't square off with the RIAA since they're part of it.

Microsoft also has a program for matching employee donations to non-profits, so its likely Microsoft has also given money to the EFF as well.
