Release The Music » Sign our petition

I’m really not one for political canvassing, but this is important. If you’re in the UK, please go and put your name to this petition.

A little background, if you’re not aware. A government report looks set to recommend that copyright on recordings is not extended from the current 50 years to 95 years. This is in direct opposition to the stated position of the major record labels. There’s a little more info here.

I can’t see a rational justification to extension at all, but the music lobby is powerful. By adding it to the petition, your name can be used to counter their argument.
