I would support giving the money to some sort of charity.

Seems like a much better solution than the money going to directly to CCP.
So CCP, greed or good... your choice.

I like the idea of donating destroyed plex to charity.
From the ccp side. That shipwreck that destroyed 74 plex, that's 74 players for one month. When there's hundreds of thousands of players paying each month, that 74 plex doesn't look like much. Figure 320k subscribers, that's 0.023125% of the subscription collected in a month. Pretty minimal.
Donating the value of the destroyed plex would be a decent PR move, I'd imagine. But instead of the Red cross, I'd pick a smaller one, and something that more closely resonates with gamers. Something like "Child's Play"

On the same note, and realizing that hindsight is 20/20. Undocking with that much isk in a kestrel in jita and being slow enough to be scanned is not too bright. Sell one plex and faction fit a good battleship and it would have been safe. Or not be afk.

+1 for this idea, though I think they should split the money up between a few charities.

Although something about this seems futile. If CCP were even remotely interested in doing the right thing they would be fixing the bugs and additional lag created by Dominion. Instead their priority is trying to bedazzle the market with flashy gimmicks like walking in stations. This is not a company who is going to pay any real attention to us.

My respect for CCP would burst through the roof if they donated their winnings on PLEX deaths to charity :) Supported!

supported but CCP will never do it as it costs them money. They didnt make plex movable because they thought it was cool, they did it because they found another way to squeeze a little more money out of us without having to do anything but process cc payments.
Even if they did this...it would be just like why they actually set up plex for haiti. We gave them money for gametime. They donated that money in THEIR name for a giant tax deduction not because they cared. If they had no other motive other than to help haiti they would simply asked us to donate to the red cross and posted links to the various charities involved.

Once again, strictly speaking, the discussion wasn't on GTC but rather PLEX and either way, both represent a very precise amount of value, a certain amount of game time which is regularly sold for a particular amount of money. All a gift card is, is a barcode or magnetic strip coded number that maps to an amount of in store credit, much as the GTC is only an alphanumeric code that maps to an amount or credit of the single product which is game time in EVE. That gift cards can be redeemed for multiple items and GTC can be redeemed for only one item is, once again, immaterial. Further, many if not most retailers will not give you cash back for the value of your gift card or any unspent portion of it if they have the ability to denominate cards in any value. Normally the retailer will simply put your remaining value back on to another card.
To answer your concern about the legality of the destruction of Plexes I will use your comparison to gift cards that you have been using.
Retailers have no legal obligation to make their gift cards indestructible and whether or not they have an obligation to assist customers in recovering their gift card codes or not is questionable. So a proud owner of a gift card that burns up in flames might find himself in the same position of that of a customer whose plex just got destroyed(SOL).

If someone is getting free money, it ought to be a charity.

I suggest donation to something useful like research for ION motors or something other than helping poor people stay poor.
Much better idea. BTW - lookup some documentaries about what happened with the Haitian AID. So much money... but where is it?

Do SOMETHING productive with the things. Recycle from rat drops, or donate a significant percentage.
It's good PR either way. With looting from rats, we get happy players. With charitable donations, some players get a warm-tingly feeling, and some part of the RL world gets a benefit.

Have Corps/Alliances/Groups field a fleet with alliance tournament rules to fight for which charity the money goes to.

Actually, this idea has merit. It would help clean up the politics involved in which charity it goes too, and it promotes playing the game at the same time.
