Dear Forum,
If you have already signed the petition against the UK Government trying to give your images away then ignore this, if you have not then sign up http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/copyrightreform/ (http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/copyrightreform/)

Now that's nice considering how your government has plans on enforcing copyright law by going so far as to cutting internet access. I guess it's a case of whoever screams loudest and the music and film industry sure has strong vocal cords.
I think the problem here is also that there are no corporations (stock agencies would come closest I think) as large as there are in the music biz.
Hope you succeed with your petition.
