[Nottingham] Petition against [music] copyright term extension in the UK

[Martin]

Folks,

Comments?

Action?

This is hard on the heels of certain parts of the music industry
recently trying to force/coerce ISPs to do music policing for 'free' for
them...

Cheers,
Martin

The EU are trying to extend the copyright term in sound recordings -
even though all the evidence we have shows that this will only benefit a
small handful of already affluent performing artists, and a clutch of
major record labels, whilst sentencing vast swathes of musical culture
to rot for 45 years in a commercial vacuum.

We need as many people as possible to oppose this proposal. Please
contact me if I can provide any further information.

Yours with thanks in advance

Becky
