I fully endorse the petition by among others the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Open Rights Group (ORG) to oppose the EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy’s intention to extend the copyright term in sound recordings from 50 to 95 years retroactively.

Such extension makes absolutely no sense from an economic or democratic point of view. A lot of independant politicians and scientists agree on this. Read all the arguments here.
Here’s the petition:
