    Honestly, the money is of no real importance to me so I'll give 100% of it away and do the same next month for the SSF, if that's still going.

    Sure as hell some scab will claim a refund though :D

    Well why don't you give 100% of all of the proceeds of the book away, forever?

    Money is vulgar.

    When I see a book or CD that has a sticker saying proceeds (all or a %) go to charity I usually just think the book CD is rubbish and not worth my money in the first place.

    When I buy a book or CD I want it to be a good experience for myself but alot of charity books or CD's are not of the highest quality. Or they are about someone suffering through something or how great that charity is.

    The 'Help' CD was the only exception to that rule, I think.
