Dear dual & RFA -

On behalf of the board and staff of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), I would like to thank
you for your generous donation in the amount of $100.00, which we received on 11/25/2002. EFF
is fighting to make sure that our basic rights to free speech, privacy and free and open
communicaiton are maintained and enhanced in the digital age, and it is through the financial
commitment of individuals like you that we are able to fund this important work.

For your records, EFF is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, and our federal tax ID# is 043091431.
Your donation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, as no goods or services were
exchanged.

You contribution will be used to support some of our current work, including:

-   Our work to safeguard free speech and fair use rights from harmful expansions of the law. EFF is
  representing five ReplayTV customers in a suit against the major studios to assert the historically
  recognized fair use rights to time shift programming, skip commercials, and make copies of
  programming for personal use. EFF helped overturn the Children's Internet Proteciton Act (CIPA),
  a law that forced the use of screening software in public library terminals - software that is
  inherently flawed, likely to block valuable speech, and that limits librarians' ablitity to determine
  library Internet policies.

-   Our opposition to industry and government mandates of standards that bridle technology and
  innovation. EFF is an active participant in industry groups like the Copy Protection Technical
  Working Group (CPTWG), which is trying to limit your use of over-the-air digital television
  transmissions. We've also mounted opposition to Congress' attempts to mandate copy proteciton
  schemes through legislation like the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act
  (CBDTPA).

EFF would like to recognize all of those affiliated with Radio Freek America who gave their support:
C4, dual, kondor, LaVarious, liht, Lon, Luscious, M_from_S, meme, Merichan, Pac, Rax,
StankDawg, Turmoil, w1nt3rmut3, Ws_Ninja[CSR], & Zapperlink. Your contributions support our
efforts to defend civil liberties in the digital age. Once again, thank you for your gift; it means a great
deal to us.

Sincerely,



Kevin McLaughlin
