I do hope this one turns right around to bite them on the ass. I hope it wakes those in charge of making laws to ignore the extending of copyright lengths any further than the already outrageous lengths they are already at. Copyright only serves one purpose and the cartels would like to throw that out the window so they can reap unrestricted and unlimited profit potentials. The original purpose was to allow LIMITED time protections before it turns to public domain. At the present there is nothing making it into public domain. The length of copyright has been extended now to where nothing we know and like will make it to public domain during our lifetime in the US. This is a perversion of the copyright intents and purposes and should not be allowed to expand. The cartels love dead artists. They guarantee a renewed interest in the artists past works. That business as usual will continue without having to worry about paying that artist more. There will never be a contract renegotiation from a dead artist. Further lengthened copyrights have done nothing for the artist to encourage them to continue to produce more works. All it does is pay the cartels to keep it locked up. When was the last time you were excited about a new release? For myself it was back during the Beatles era. From that time on, the excitement has left the building along with Elvis. The same should happen to the extensions of copyright. Once again we find that there is no low too low for the cartels to stoop to. I do hope this one turns right around to bite them on the ass.

Isn't there where the phrase "Vote early, vote often" originated? Perhaps the noted (and some not not noted?) are currently residing in (the U.S. city) of Chicago.

Did Elvis also signed? maybe the musicindustry trainee that created this add should have checked the catalogue listing of artist he got from his boss to fill in as “petition signers” for those that are not alive anymore?!
