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. Certain artists might also chafe at the notion of supporting the EFF, which they perceive, rightly or wrongly, as a force acting 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 And recently from David Lowery: http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/meet-the-new-boss-worse-than-the-old-boss-full-post/ http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/meet-the-new-... 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."
