Wau Holland Stiftung. Geld: "Wir zahlen den Wikileaks-Leuten kein Gehalt" Geld Reisekosten, Hardware, keine Spesen, keine Honorare: Die Wau Holland-Stiftung macht erstmals Angaben darüber, wie die Spenden für Wikileaks verwendet werden Nach Angaben der gemeinnützigen Wau Holland-Stiftung sind bisher weniger als zehn Prozent der bei ihr eingangenen Spenden für die Aufdecker-Plattform Wikileaks ausgegeben worden. "Bisher haben wir etwa 30.000 Euro ausgezahlt", sagte der 2. Vorsitzende der Stiftung, Hendrik Fulda, am Dienstag auf Anfrage des Freitag. Damit machte die Stiftung erstmals Angaben, wofür die aufgrund der Veröffentlichung eines Militärskandal-Videos eingenommenen Mittel verwendet würden. Laut Fulda sei für Folgendes Geld geflossen: - Reisekosten für die Wikileaks-Sprecher Julian Assange und Daniel Schmitt - Computer-Hardware, vor allem für Server - Verträge für Datenleitungen "Meines Wissen haben die Wikileaks-Leute damit die größten Löcher gestopft, um ihre Webseite wieder online gehen zu lassen", sagte Fulda.
Wau Holland Foundation sheds light on Wikileaks donations - Hardware, ISP, travelling costs. Germany's Wau Holland Foundation has told newspaper Der Freitag Wikileaks receives no money for personnel costs, only for hardware, travelling and bandwidth. Hendrik Fulda, the foundation's second chairman, says around 30.000 euros have been handed out after receiving signed receipts. According to Fulda, most of the money has been mainly used to restore Wikileaks and keep the site up and running. The website had to be taken down last year as donations did not cover costs. The Wau Holland Foundation is located in Guxhagen, Germany and was founded by friends of German hacker legend and computing visionary Wau Holland, who started the famous Chaos Computer Club (CCC).
Fulda added the foundation wanted to include a detailed financial report on its website by end of August in reaction to the donations received for Wikileaks. As a charity accountable under German law, donations for Wikileaks can be made to the foundation. Wau Holland. Holland also co-founded the CCC's hacker magazine Datenschleuder in 1984, which praised the possibilities of global information networks and powerful computers, and included detailed wiring diagrams for building your own modems cheaply. The then-monopolist phone company of Germany's Deutsche Bundespost had to approve modems and sold expensive, slow modems of their own.
The telecommunications branch of Deutsche Bundespost was privatized and is now Deutsche Telekom. Because of Holland's continuing participation in the club, the CCC gained popularity and credibility. He gave speeches on information control for the government and the private sector. Holland fought against copy protection and all forms of censorship and for an open information infrastructure. Holland was an amateur radio operator and held the callsign DB4FA.[2] Holland died in Bielefeld on 29 July 2001 of complications caused by a brain stem stroke from which he suffered in May.[1] See also[edit] References[edit] DOC001 1984-11-15 Wau Holland auf der DAFTA - Chaosradio Podcast Network.

WikiLeaks will fund itself via Flattr, Pirate Bay founder’s startup. WikiLeaks, the Sweden-based organisation that publishes anonymous leaks of secret material (most recently 90,000 documents about the War in Afghanistan) has until now, relied on donations to fund its activities.
That’s lead to outages when funds became scarce, for whatever reason. But today WikiLeaks is unleashing a potentially devastating strike against criitics which could see it become an almost unstoppable force in the world’s media. It’s joined Flattr. Flattr is another Sweden-based outfit with close links to The Pirate Bay as the the brainchild of a group of people formerly associated with The [infamous] Pirate Bay, including Peter Sunde. Flattr has a micropayments business model based on the idea of people tipping content they like, Digg or perhaps Facebook Like buttons – but this time with real money.
Users can “Flattr” content by setting up a Flattr account which sets a a monthly fee — a minimum €2 — that they are willing to contribute for any kind of online content. Financing WikiLeaks. Many comedians consider stand-up the purest form of comedy; Doug Stanhope considers it the freest. “Once you do stand-up, it spoils you for everything else,” he says. “You’re the director, performer, and producer.” Unlike most of his peers, however, Stanhope has designed his career around exploring that freedom, which means choosing a life on the road. Perhaps this is why, although he is extremely ambitious, prolific, and one of the best stand-ups performing, so many Americans haven’t heard of him.
Many comedians approach the road as a means to an end: a way to develop their skills, start booking bigger venues, and, if they’re lucky, get themselves airlifted to Hollywood. But life isn’t happening on a sit-com set or a sketch show — at least not the life that has interested Stanhope. Because of the present comedy boom, civilians are starting to hear about Doug Stanhope from other comedians like Ricky Gervais, Sarah Silverman, and Louis CK. Wikileaks-Finanzierung - Assange und der Irak-Scoop - Digital. Anzeige Assange hatte das Gefühl, dass Medien ihr Interesse verlieren, sobald Daten allgemein zugänglich und kostenlos sind. So versuchte er 2008, ein weiteres geheimes Datenpaket unter Zeitungsverlagen zu versteigern.
Doch die Auktion von 7000 E-Mails eines früheren Redenschreibers des venezolanischen Präsidenten Hugo Chávez erwies sich als juristisch und organisatorisch zu aufwendig. Es dauerte etwa ein weiteres Jahr, bis Assange ein Geheimpaket mit einem Video aus dem Irak erhielt, von dem er wusste: Das könnte der Scoop werden, der die Aufmerksamkeit für ausreichend Spenden erzeugt. Unter dem Code-Name ProjectB machte sich Assange daran, das Videomaterial zu entschlüsseln, mit Ton zu versehen und auf eine sichere Webseite zu stellen, um es zu veröffentlichen. Dafür zog er sich mit einem halben Dutzend Wikileaks-Aktivsten nach Island zurück. In der Hauptstadt Reykjavik mieteten sie sich ein unauffälliges Haus, das sie von da an nur noch "den Bunker" nannten. How Wikileaks Uses Flattr To Let Users Easily Distribute Monthly Donations. While mainstream media struggles to find a balance between free online content, paywalls and subscriptions, Wikileaks is happily experimenting with a new micropayment service, Flattr.
Flattr lets organizations set up microdonations on individual blog posts, articles, videos, photos and other media so that users who like the content can give their financial support. And what sets Flattr apart is really its ease-of-use: users don’t have to log in to a larger payment site like Paypal and donate large lump sums – Flattr is a true microdonation platform. It looks like mainstream media could learn a lesson or two from Flattr and Wikileaks. Perhaps the most innovative aspect of Flattr is how it sets up its micropayments.
Flattr is an egalitarian payment system: there are no levels, tiers or user types. Wikileaks implemented Flattr on August 1st, and its Afghanistan War Diary content has received 1120 flatters as of today. WikiLeaks says funding has been blocked after government blacklisting | Media. The whistleblowing group WikiLeaks claims that it has had its funding blocked and that it is the victim of financial warfare by the US government. Moneybookers, a British-registered internet payment company that collects WikiLeaks donations, emailed the organisation to say it had closed down its account because it had been put on an official US watchlist and on an Australian government blacklist. The apparent blacklisting came a few days after the Pentagon publicly expressed its anger at WikiLeaks and its founder, Australian citizen Julian Assange, for obtaining thousands of classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan, in one of the US army's biggest leaks of information.
The documents caused a sensation when they were made available to the Guardian, the New York Times and German magazine Der Spiegel, revealing hitherto unreported civilian casualties. WikiLeaks defied Pentagon calls to return the war logs and destroy all copies. Julian Assange: Financial threats to WikiLeaks are serious. Lack of funds and volume of content sent to the whistleblower has overwhelmed its submission system, says founder WikiLeaks has had to close its submission system while it deals with the amount of material it has accumulated and is facing "serious" financial threats, founder Julian Assange said at the Frontline Club last night. Speaking at a debate following Friday's publication of the Iraq war logs, almost 400,000 military documents relating to the war in Iraq, Assange said the whistleblowing website could no longer fulfil its promise to publish material "in a timely manner".
"We make these promises about publishing everything that we receive provided it fits our editorial criteria," he said. "But we have so much material that we have accumulated as we have grown as an organisation, we no longer feel, that given the demands upon us, we can in fact hold to that promise in a timely manner. "The financial threats: those are serious.

WIKILEAKS internal structure is becoming more of a closed shop than ever. What really is beginning to concern us is the increasing lack of accounting for donations received from internet donors. Our (ACTIVISTS) internal estimates put Assange's personal expenditure including business class air travel, accommodation and personal expenses at $52,000 from April 1st 2010 to July 1st 2010.
