Defending online rights of consumers is a corporate responsibility

Mountain View, CA-November 18, 2003-Slim Devices Inc. announced today a wide-ranging relationship with San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation 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 Slim Devices website of its new product—Squeezebox;
• inserting informational pamphlets on behalf of EFF in product packaging;
• promoting EFF's projects and programs on Slim Devices' website;
• encouraging customers to personally support EFF through donations.

The Electronic Frontier 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."
