Dear all


The European Parliament is set to vote on whether to double the term of
copyright in sound recordings. Please register your concern at an event
on the proposed Term Extension Directive, on Tuesday 27 January 2009 in
the European Parliament in Brussels:

http://soundcopyright.eventbrite.com/

This flawed Directive has been unanimously condemned by Europe's leading
intellectual property research centres. The European Parliament must
address the mounting concerns of consumer groups and copyright users if
they want a modern, workable copyright policy.  Please, if you can, come
to Brussels and register your concern.

If you can't make it, please forward this mail to your MEP (you can get
their contact details here:
http://www.laquadrature.net/wiki/Political_Memory), and ask them to:

*Strongly oppose this legislation

*Attend the 27 January event on your behalf

*Sign the Sound Copyright petition (http://www.soundcopyright.eu/petition)

*Watch the Open Rights Groups' cartoon "How copyright term extension in
Sound Recordings actually works"
