About EFF
From the Internet to the iPod, technologies are transforming our society and empowering us as speakers, citizens, creators, and consumers. When our freedoms in the networked world come under attack, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the first line of defense. EFF broke new ground when it was founded in 1990 — well before the Internet was on most people's radar — and continues to confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today. From the beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights.
Blending the expertise of lawyers, policy analysts, activists, and technologists, EFF achieves significant victories on behalf of consumers and the general public. EFF fights for freedom primarily in the courts, bringing and defending lawsuits even when that means taking on the US government or large corporations. By mobilizing more than 50,000 concerned citizens through our Action Center, EFF beats back bad legislation. In addition to advising policymakers, EFF educates the press and public.
EFF is a donor-funded nonprofit and depends on your support to continue successfully defending your digital rights. Litigation is particularly expensive; because two-thirds of our budget comes from individual donors, every contribution is critical to helping EFF fight —and win—more cases.

My time on YouTube may be over... I may have infringed on the copyrights of the authors and creators of the "This I Believe" audio series and if so I'll pay the price for it...
If you posted a video response to any of the "This I Believe" videos and would like to attach them to this video that would be cool with me. I thank you all for helping bring attention to the great body of work "This I Believe"

UPDATE!!! 6/6/08
A note to the You Tube community from Dan Gediman, Executive Director, This I Believe, Inc.: Many of you may know of the recent issue over videos made by Paul Robinett (aka Renetto) that consisted of him reading, in their entirety, essays from the This I Believe series that we produce for public radio. This I Believe is an international project engaging people in writing, sharing, and discussing the core values that guide their daily lives. These short statements of belief, written by people from all walks of life, are published on our website at http://www.thisibelieve.org/ as well as in regular broadcasts on public radio. The project is based on a popular 1950s radio series of the same name hosted by Edward R. Murrow. When we learned about these videos, which were made without our permission, we were understandably concerned. We approached Mr. Robinett, informed him that the works in question were protected by copyright, and asked him to take them down, which he did promptly when asked. I want to stress that we took this action not motivated in any way by censorship. We fully support freedom of expression. We were trying to protect the copyrights of the essayists who wrote the words that Mr. Robinett was reading verbatim. When these writers granted rights to us, they did so with the understanding that they would be used for very specific purposes, such as broadcast on public radio and being included in a book. For this reason, we had no choice but to ask that the videos be removed. Since that time, we have been in contact with one of the essayists in question, Phyllis Allen, who has given her permission to Mr. Robinett to re-post his video of her essay. Given this fact, we are also granting permission for Mr. Robinett to do so, provided that proper copyright attribution is included and that he does not personally profit financially from the essayist's work. In the coming days, we hope to contact all the other essayists in question to see if they would allow permission for this usage as well. We are not at all opposed to anyone who wishes to make similar videos of their favorite This I Believe essay. We simply ask that they contact us first to receive permission and proper copyright attribution from us and the individual essayist. You can reach us at http://www.thisibelieve.org/contact.html. And if you would like to submit your own essay to the This I Believe project, please visit http://www.thisibelieve.org/agree.html. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
