Music fans from Texas to Dusseldorf are organizing in an attempt to push back against the music industry’s lawsuits over online piracy.
The Electronic Freedom Foundation is reviving its efforts to ignite a lobbying movement among music fans and recording artists. In addition to updating its page on file sharing, the group is urging its blog readers to sign petitions asking governments on both sides of the Atlantic to do away with lawsuits against music fans.
“There are over 60 million people in the United States who use file sharing – more than the number of people who voted for our current President,” EFF states. “If we all band together and stand up for our rights, we can change the law.”
Derek Slater characterized the Recording Industry Association of America’s campaign against peer-to-peer file sharing “irrational” and urged Americans and Britons to sign petitions to develop constructive alternatives so artists can earn money, while listeners share music.
