I'm not sure I agree with tptacek about the donations, but one reason might be to keep up the pressure. Blocking SOPA was a big success, so having another battle soon after could be a way to both encourage their supporters as well as show their continued relevance. I'm also not going to argue that it's a bad thing: I love the EFF and donate to them, so if it helps them, I don't really have an issue.
- tptacek 14y agoI feel bad for wailing on the EFF about this stuff, because I used to be a fan of the EFF, but come on; their posts on CISPA cite PATRIOT, terrorism, National Security Letters, CARNIVORE, the FBI "bending or suspending the law" (begging the question: then HOW does CISPA matter?) and wait for it DRONE STRIKES. It's not enough to be right; you also have to be correct.
