The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
That said, we live in a very "connected" world. If you don't want yourself to end up on the internet, then don't do anything out of the ordinary in public (and that includes Phish shows, which are very much public). It's similar to the web. If you don't want people to see it, don't put it there to begin with.
@mpike: There is no assumption of privacy for anyone, including regular folks, like you and me, when one is in public. That includes a Phish show. Sure, Trey, being a celebrity, has no assumption of privacy when he's performing, but if you're out in public, people have a right to take a picture of you. They don't have a right to use your likeness to make money (at least not without your permission), but they do have a right to take a picture or video.
