With apologies for cross posting. A new petition has been opened as part of
a campaign against the proposed extension to the copyright term for sound
recordings in the EU. If this extension is passed, the UK will be forced to
reconsider its recent rejection of any copyright term extension. Citizens
of non-UK countries are encouraged to register as well. The petition reads:
'The following individuals state their opposition to a copyright term
extension for sound recordings.
We ask the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of
Ministers to ensure that policy in this area reflects all concerned
stakeholders, including consumer and public interest organisations, and not
just the commercial rights-holders who advocate for extended copyright
term."
