They made a really dumb move and now have to pay for it. I understand their importance but it doesn't seem like they do - or they are naive enough to believe corpos have good will.

They broke law in such a dumb way, and it's a pity they put their entire project in jeopardy. My only thought while deciding to donate is "what will prevent them from doing something this dumb again?"
