Petition making progress!
Feb. 7th, 2012 08:29 amA big Thank You to everyone who's signed the petition regarding limiting the period of US copyright to a period of 56 years! The petition appeared on the public page after only two days by gathering 150 signatures, and it's been continuing to gather signatures since then - it's up to almost 3250!
As the whitehouse.gov petitions page has gotten more popular, though, other petitions have appeared, and the copyright petition is about to get knocked off the bottom. It won't be seen unless the user specifically chooses to view more petitions. (This is nothing against the other petitions - I've signed several!)
If you care about copyright law and haven't spread the word about the petition here or on other social or news media, please do so. It would be fantastic if the petition eventually reached the bar of 25,000 signatures!
The petition can be found here.
