September 1st will see the start of a new anti-filesharing initiative. The petition called “Share – Do Not Steal” is currently supported by 1,750 copyright holders and 36 groups including record, movie, TV and games companies. It will be publicized in Norway’s press tomorrow morning.
A new anti-P2P campaign will begin in Norway tomorrow. Entitled “Share – Not Steal” the campaign is supported by 36 industry groups including IFPI, TV, movie, games and software associations, along with (at the time of writing) another 1750+ artists, musicians and other copyright holders.
The campaign carries a petition which hopes to force Norway’s political parties to show their intentions on unauthorized file-sharing.
“Legal file sharing is good. Illegal file sharing is theft,” begins a statement from the organizers, which goes on to say that just because everyone is doing it, it doesn’t mean to say that the practice should be legalized.
