World wide:
People are invited to support this declaration calling on WIPO to change its name and mission. http://fsfeurope.org/documents/wiwo.en.html
US voters:
Contact your senators to oppose a new law that would prohibit photocopiers, tape recorders, VCRs, CD writers, peer-to-peer software, etc. http://www.savethe.org
EU voters:
See http://kwiki.ffii.org/ElectPart0405En for information on candidates for the European Parliament and how they stand on software patents.
US citizens:
Please contact your congressional representatives to oppose bill HR 3261, which would establish a new form of copyright covering facts that you find in a database.
US citizens:
Please join P2P United in the fight to defeat legislation to ban peer to peer software. Visit http://www.p2punited.org/involve.php to learn how you can help convince members of U.S. House of Representatives to oppose bill HR 4077. It could send you to jail for years just for having $1,000 worth of copyrighted material in the shared folder of your computer even if nobody ever accesses it!
World wide:
Please help the Union for the Public Domain raise awareness of the danger of the WIPO Broadcast Treaty, by asking your government officials questions about it.
In Europe:
Please see http://swpat.ffii.org/group/todo/ for what you can do to help fight against software patents in Europe. (For more specific involvement see http://kwiki.ffii.org/FfiiprojEn.)
Long-term contribution:
We would like your suggestions for free software packages to add to the Free Software Directory. Please look up your favorite free software packages there, and if one of them is not found, please suggest it. Please email us the package name and the URL for where it can be found. You can also help even further by writing a draft entry that we could start with.
US citizens:
Please sign both the Petition Against Software Patents and the Anti-DMCA Petition. Please visit http://www.digitalspeech.org and help resist the media companies' campaign to impose restrictions on what your computer can do.
