Take a Stand Against the Madness; Stop the RIAA!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation needs 10,000 signatures. I encourage you all to sign.

Another good petition:

Thanks for the link tinfoil, the EFF petition didn't want to hear from anyone outside of the USA.:(

I'd love to sign the petition, but alas, I am no American.... :(

I'd sign it if I weren't so cynical about petitions - especially when directed against a group that's already pissing off a nation and doesn't particularly seem to mind. 10,000 signatures, collected on the Internet, aren't going to make the RIAA say they're sorry.

Another skeptic of internet petitions here. In fact, old fashioned pen signed door to door petitions even make me skeptical. There is no doubt that everyone is pissed at RIAA's woeful double standards about 'stealing'. Alas it's a free market, and what everyone does is TECHNICALLY illegal, but it's illegal in the sense of Robin Hood sort illegal justice. It's not petitions that'll work but rather total bankrupcy may make them realise some fault with their system. Damn the RIAA.

lafemme, Robin Hood was still a criminal. Never forget that. He was a vigilante, and if we had a whole nation of people running aroung robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, there would all of a sudden be very little incentive to make yourself rich. Do we see the problem here?

As for internet petitions: they are useless. No internet petition has the slightest bit of legal bearing on anything, and will very rarely have any influence on any recipient. It's just too easy to fabricate the whole thing.

I signed

I signed. This link is at every single forum I go to.

technology will continue to create distribution channels that break down the notion of ownership of intellectual property.

good luck.

The RIAA are disgraceful infidels

This whole copyright law got me thinking about American fundamentals of government. A goverernment by the people, for the people. Judging by the amount of protests and overwhelming response to them, it got me thinking specifically about "unpopular laws". You see, this should never happen in our governement because the people, supposedly, make the laws....

... in theory anyway.

No, they don't, moelster. The people vote for representatives, who make the laws. We accept that we won't like some of the laws, but those laws are written with our best interests in mind anyway. We just vote for the representatives who we feel will best represent our own interests.

The one I posted is a worl-wide petition, as prohibitive copyright laws are not copyright of the USA.

Internet petition...yeah, I'll sign it, but you can bet the barn that it'll be useless.

I have been looking for some sort of petition to sign regsrding the Devil RIAA. Thanks, but I have to side with H12 and say its not gonna do much.

The two minutes it takes to add your name may not do much but hell, is two minutes of your time not worth trying?

Online petition? That trick NEVER works! sk

Damn, they've more than doubled their signatures since I've last looked!
