Yep, an understanding of the proposal would be worth seeing beforehand...

I can't find the original proposal anywhere...

I'm reluctant to sign until I know what I'm putting my name to.

This is a key sentance, "allowing the public to use
photographs for non-commercial uses without payment or
authorisation."

 

[sbowler579]

QUOTE BJP says the Digital Economy Bill proposes "changes to the copyright
licensing scheme [that] could impact photographers the most, as
non-commercial consumers could use images without having to ask for
permission or providing payment to the photographer."

Your work I may use without asking you, as long as it not for profit.

This is why I hate petitions.number10.

They rarely if ever give any useful information about the issue so you don't know what the hell you're putting your name down in support of. Hence I rarely if ever sign the things.

This seems to be what it's about. Not read it yet
