Have you submitted your claim for a refund from the RIAA under the class action suit In re: Compact Disc Minimum Advertised Price Antitrust Litigation? You are entitled to a piece of the $67m action if you purchased any prerecorded music from a retail store during 1995-2000, a period during which the music industry was colluding to fix prices and defraud you. As pointed out on bOing bOing, there’s a move afoot for claimants to donate their share — expected to be between $5 and $20 — to the EFF.

Why the EFF?

They’ve earned it. This settlement is a direct result of media corporations taking advantage of consumers. It stands to reason that a non-profit which serves the interest of media consumers and artists should be a beneficiary. If there is any organization that tussles with the recording industry on a regular basis, it’s the EFF. …The EFF fights constantly to protect and broaden consumers’ and artists’ rights, or in some cases just trying to maintain what little rights we have. Let’s try to do something that will help prevent the media industry from manipulating the market again.

Sounds fair to me.
