Tell the copyright czar how US enforcement should work: 9 days left!
,----[ Quote ]
| You've got nine days left to file comments
| for Victoria Espinel, the Obama
| administration's new copyright enforcement
| czar, and her department's inquiry on how
| the US should best enforce copyrights.
| Given that the president himself has spoken
| out in favor of the secret and sinister
| Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (AKA
| ACTA -- a punishing copyright treaty that
| seeks to expand the American DMCA and push
| it around the world), and that he plans to
| bring it down by executive order, without
| an act of Congress, this is especially
| urgent.

| It sounds like an obvious thing to say,
