It will take more than this and a “woot!” to bring copyright laws back down to earth. People need to contact their congressmen and senators ONCE A WEEK and ask for them to change the laws.

Ex.: “Hi I’m one of your constituents I was just calling on behalf of myself and my family and friends all voters in your district to see what efforts you had made in the past week to make copyright laws more evenly-balanced and fair. By the way I’ll be calling you again in 1 week…….”

Great idea Open Universe. Senators and Representatives really reply well to threats. Especially threats by some dude in his parents’ basement complaining about his “right” to download Menudo’s Greatest Hits. Sure you’re not donating a single penny to the guy’s campaign whereas the music industry is donating millions of dollars but I’m sure your threats to call again next week will really hit home. Of course his staff wont even bother forwarding your insane letters and calls to him but at least you’re harassing the staff.

Sorry to see that you have no faith in our constitutional right to vote. I believe that a small number of people following just such a tactic has in fact convinced numerous representatives to vote the “right” way on numerous occasions. Campaign donations are one thing votes are quite another.

What else is there really unless you can personally buy up all the major studios and reverse the MPAA……….

(P.S. I hate Menudo I would NEVER download them!)
