Have you ever illegally downloaded copyrighted content on the internet without the explicit consent of the rights holder? Have you ever created content for online distribution using copyrighted materials such as song and video without permission?
Hint: Most of you probably have.
As 2009 ushered in a Democratic majority in the 111th congress, the fire for digital copyright reform was reignited. Our current copyright system is outdated and is nearly inapplicable to the current discussion of digital copyrights. This has to change.
Sign the petition declaring that you have "broken the law" at some point, in some way, and that you demand our judicial system does not criminalize socially acceptable elements of our online culture.
Sign the petition if you want serious digital copyright reform in the 111th Congress.
