Switzerland recently (on October 5th) passed a new copyright law modelled on the DMCA.
Under Swiss direct democracy, a petition of 50,000 voters is needed to force a referendum on this issue, and therefore prevent this law from being enforced. There's a campaign for a petition at <http://no-dmca.ch/index.en.html> This law has been featured on Boing Boing: <http://www.boingboing.net/2007/12/02/swiss-dmca-petition.html> and <http://www.boingboing.net/2007/11/28/swiss-dmca-coming-do.html> Can everyone tell all their friends and spread this as widely as possible, so the petition succeeds and this law can be overturned. -- Philip Hunt, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
