  Yep, Sorry I should have noted that in subject line.
  
  seems to me that each nation that still does business with the USA
  and/or the WTO should have a trade commission or at least a consul
  office that would relay your thoughts for you to the US Gov.  
 
 Why bother? Cuz then eventually, countries that AREN'T the US would then
 want to be a PART of the US then in time, they'll become PART of the US
 - just like Rome. Same tactics.
 
 Oh, BTW, Rome fell.
hell,, I thought we (the USA and it citizens) were already into the
'falling' part, I was suggesting that you all make sure you Gov. knows
that if you have a choice, you don't want to fall down the same hole
with us,,, 

I am praying some where (some country) they have the balls to stand up
for what make sense, as opposed to standing around to make cents.

2003-09-12 Thread ed tharp
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:

http://www.eff.org/share/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:

http://www.eff.org/share/petition/

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!

Sincerely,

Ren Bucholz
EFF Activist

Yeah I'd sign the petition except for a minor point. Americans not

Yep I should have noted that for those of us still stuck. anyway those
that can speak up should, IMHO, and it may not be that he eff feels that
way, but the folks they are talking to have pretty much made it clear
they don't want to hear anything, much less those who can not influence
their voting block.
I wonder which will happen first, if I will breakdown and install XP, or
buy something from a member of the RIAA.
