New Prime Ministers E-Petitions

[stratagem]

There is a new electronic way of petitioning the Prime Minister, one petition awaiting names is:

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to create a new exception to copyright law that gives individuals the right to create a private copy of copyrighted materials for their own personal use, including back-ups, archiving and shifting format."

Can't hurt to try it.

I've only just stumbled across this petition on the PM's site myself.

Currently there's only a pathetic 716 votes on this, so everyone who's passionate about a HDTV terrestrial service should hurry up and vote! (Pol closes on 21st Feb)

Direct link is here

Doh! Serves me right for looking at two things at once.

I was meaning to point to the petition to force analogue spectrum to be made available for HDTV over terrestrial, not the petition stratagem is talking about

Well in the 10 days since I first posted about the HD petition there's been another 2200+ signatures to take the total at the time of writing to 2950

Shame the petition only lasts until the 21st

A new petition on the PM's site has started up asking for spectrum from analogue shut-down to be released to HDTV. You can find it here.

As it runs until February next year there should be plenty of time for it to build up a head of steam.
