Another point:
Once/If the pledge goal is raised, i will be seeking additional contributions and donations from mainstream...to get companies like Apple, M$, Real, Sony, Yahoo, AOL, etc involved where they may not be directly under the scope of patent infringement litigation.
I look to greatly expand FTPF's warchest beyond the starting $250,000 pledge drive, to get a greater amount from mainstream tech companies to assist in the vision and execution of the charter.
I won't be needing to come back and ask for another pledge/donation from the Adult Industry.
This Pledge Drive is a one-time event that helps start the formation of the Foundation.
IMPA is formed as an association which currently doesn't have a membership or dues structure, but I am sure in the future, it will be much like Free Speech Coalition and Internet Freedom Association, to collect dues so that the Association will be able to provide assistance to their members, and all the other stuff that Associations do.
FTPF has pledged support for IMPA, because it is an association that is looking out for all auult webmaster related issues by contributing a portion of the donations (once the pledge drive goal as been reached.)
Fight the Patent!
