EFF Update...

Dear EFF Supporter:

This is astounding - in the first 24 hours, over 6,000 people have signed
our petition to stop the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA)
nationwide rampage against average Americans. 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. Take a stand against the RIAA's tactics by
signing our petition:

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'll deliver the petition to Congress once we've hit 10,000 signatures.
This is a grassroots campaign - please take the time to tell your friends
and family about this issue. Thanks for support!
