Defending Online Rights Of Consumers Is A Corporate Responsibility

Electronic Frontier Foundation Media Release

Mountain View, CA - Slim Devices(R) Inc. announced today a wide-ranging relationship with San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to support and promote the foundation's work to its customers.

"Every day the digital rights of citizens are under attack by special interests that want to protect antiquated business models rather than embrace the opportunities created by new technologies," said Sean Adams, president of Slim Devices, Inc. "EFF is at the forefront of this consumer rights issue, and we are pleased to do our part by mobilizing our customers. We hope that this will encourage other corporations to actively protect the digital rights of their customers."

Slim Devices' support of EFF will include:

• donating 10% of net profits generated from sales on the www.slimdevices.com website of its new product ­ Squeezebox(TM);
• inserting informational pamphlets on behalf of EFF in its products' packaging;
• promoting EFF's projects and programs on Slim Devices' website;
• sending periodic alerts to customers on pending EFF issues; and
• encouraging customers to personally support EFF through donations.

The foundation is involved in several lawsuits against the Recording Industry Association of America, where EFF is defending the right of consumers to access digital content for appropriate personal use.

"It's great to see companies like Slim Devices, Inc., show corporate leadership and take an active interest in protecting the rights of their customers," said Shari Steele, Executive Director of EFF. "We hope they can help us bring together more companies to expand this outreach in a systematic manner."
