Don’t Let the UK Government remove our rights to our artwork and photography!! This affects every single person who posts images on the internet! Please sign it (if you need to be a UK resident or citizen) and support us!

This is a complete disgrace and has been pushed though without thought or consideration to the artists and photographers whose rights they are taking away, all in the name of economic progress in a bill that has absolutely nothing to do with copyright.

Unfortunately the E-Petition is only for UK residents/citizens, however this affects everyone who posts images on the internet, your won't be immune regardless of where you are based, so please pass this along!

I actually support artists losing copyright if they don't use it constructively.

However, I'm against taking someone's effort and claiming it as your own.
