Charitable donations
For a while now I’ve thought of donating some money to a charity or similar on a regular basis. However, I’d like to choose an organisation who is part of the fight against Big Media and over-extensive copyright laws and DRM and all that sort of thing, since that’s what I believe in. If I lived in the US, it wouldn’t be a difficult decision: I’d donate to the EFF. Since I’m in the UK, though…who should I send money to? The Campaign for Digital Rights don’t solicit donations, FIPR don’t seem to be doing a lot these days…suggestions?

They certainly take online donations.

How about FFII (or it’s UK sub group FFII-UK)?
The Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII) is a non-profit association registered in several European countries, which is dedicated to the spread of data processing literacy. FFII supports the development of public information goods based on copyright, free competition, open standards. More than 500 members, 1,200 companies and 75,000 supporters have entrusted the FFII to act as their voice in public policy questions concerning exclusion rights (intellectual property) in data processing.(quote)
They are especially fighting against the EU patent laws.
