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.
Also key and tempo are not copyrighted components of a song (they aren't integral to what constitutes a certain song). I could play Chalkdust in any key at any tempo and it would still be Chalkdust.
On the subject of teases, that Mumford & Son's tease is so clearly intentional. You can hear Mike stumble on to something similar and then find the right notes. Mike teases all the time without getting credit for it.
