It's nice to see this taken from Mac and PC games to music, but I'm not sure it makes sense to keep the same charities for this initiative. Instead of Child's Play, which focuses on games, I could see supporting a music-focused youth benefit charity for this. Also, several artists might chafe at the notion of supporting the EFF, whom they might perceive, rightly or wrongly, as fighters against their interests as copyright holders. Here's an (apparently old, with source material no longer hosted on EFF's site) example: http://www.brettglass.com/effcritique.html http://www.brettglass.com/effcritique.html I recently came across another musician railing on the EFF, but can't find it anymore. At the least, I'd say there's potential for controversy there.

Fifth paragraph: "... Further the new boss through it’s surrogates like Electronic Frontier Foundation seems to be waging a cynical PR campaign that equates the unauthorized use of other people’s property (artist’s songs) with freedom. A sort of Cyber –Bolshevik campaign of mass collectivization for the good of the state…er .. I mean Internet. I say cynical because when it comes to their intellectual property, software patents for instance, these same companies fight tooth and nail."]
