Paul, thanks for posting this. I think it is really important to
support the EFF on issues such as this and the DMCA.

Seeking 10K signatures in a weekend, the EFF petition has exceded 21K by
Saturday night. See link below (and sign on if you so desire).

Take a Stand Against the Madness; Stop the RIAA!
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is on a rampage,
launching legal attacks against average Americans from coast to coast.
Rather than working to create a rational, legal means by which its
customers can take advantage of file-sharing technology and pay a fair
price for the music they love, it has chosen to sue people like Brianna
LaHara, a 12 year-old girl living in New York City public housing.
Brianna, and hundreds of other music fans like her, are being forced to
pay thousands of dollars they do not have to settle RIAA-member lawsuits
-- supporting a business model that is anything but rational. This
crusade
is generating thousands of subpoenas and hundreds of lawsuits, but not a
single penny for the artists that the RIAA claims to protect.
Copyright law shouldn't make criminals out of 60 million Americans, and
it's time for a change. Congress is going to hold hearings; we need
your
help to make sure that the public's voice is heard. Tell Congress that
it's time to stop the madness!
We have 21420 signatures so far. We've passed our goal of 10,000 -
this
is amazing! Anyone who signs the petition over the weekend will have
their name on the document we deliver to Congress. Make your voice
heard!
