The Electronic Frontier Foundation was formally founded on July 10, 1990, by Kapor, John Gilmore and Barlow. Initial funding was provided by Kapor, Steve Wozniak, and an anonymous benefactor.

Electronic Frontier Foundation got $300,000 dollars from Soros in 2008

Soros only has recent involvement as a donor I believe. Sometimes interests align. Otherwise, the EFF was founded by prominent Silicon Valley geeks long before Soros got involved in US politics.

This is right up the EFF’s alley since they’ve been doing a program on copyright abuse, and helping defend people against it, for a while. They even have a “takedown hall of shame” to showcase abuses of the DMCA takedown provision.
