EFF Wants Your Money

By Ryan Singel, Kevin Poulsen, Sarah Lai Stirland, Kim Zetter, and David Kravets

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is feeling a little jolly these days.

As part of its latest donor campaign, it's created a brief, albeit humorous animated videoespousing why it needs your cash.

Among other things, the video highlights the group's fight for electronic rights, including its lawsuitchallenging President Bush's warrantless eavesdropping on Americans.

The lawsuit prompted Congress to immunize telecoms that freely gave your private data to the Bush administration ? without warrants. (The EFF is now challenging that immunity legislation, which was supported by President-elect Barack Obama.)

What's more, the EFF video, released Wednesday, reviews the group's quest for fair useof copyrighted works, working electronic voting machines, and how it foiled wrongly issued patents.
