this is the sole reason i rather buy from them instead of amazon. before those cases, i steered clear of newegg as i do of any merchant that bores me with coupons and rebates.

This is an excellent point! I hope everyone who cares about this issue is doing their part and voting with their dollars. Yes, donate to EFF, write to your congresscritter/senator, but also reward the business that invests money in causes that you care about. Sure, they are doing it to benefit their bottomline, but they could just as easily have paid that money to make the problem go away like so many other businesses did.

Newegg has been my exclusive source of tech goods since they started standing up to trolls. I intend to keep rewarding them with my repeat business.
