This is not an April Fool's Joke. I repeat, this is NOT an April Fool's Joke.So if you've spent almost any time on YouTube within the past few months, no doubt you've seen the "Where's the Fair Use?" #WTFU movement and the mounting series of complaints about the abuse of Fair Use laws with regards to DMCA and copyright-related takedowns of videos and channels.
Well, unbeknownst to pretty much
everyone, the government has had a form open for a while now for people to send in complaints and commentary as they prepare to re-analyze the DMCA laws and associated ordinances and consider re-evaluating and updating them. Unfortunately, this flew
waaaaay under the radar and news only really got out last night/this morning... and the form closes at midnight tonight.
Here's a video explaining the basics, and includes links to the forms as well as phone numbers and other contact methods. I highly, highly, HIGHLY encourage everyone who is able to send something in.
Thanks for posting this, I have been spreading it as well!
Bumping this to keep it from being lost to the AF silliness.
