Season's Pleadings from Public Knowledge

Most recent activity:

2006 was a busy year for Public Knowledge, and a good one for the public. Working with our friends in industry and the public interest community, Public Knowledge played a critical role in some of the most important copyright and communications law issues of the year.

Next year we will certainly be fighting some of these same battles again, but we also want to do more. We want to propose comprehensive copyright law reform and we want to be the public's voice in the debate over patent reform. But to do all of this, we need your support!

Please help us fight for principles of fair use, open innovation, and anti-discrimination on the Internet. There are lots of ways you can help: make a yearly donation, buy a t-shirt or subscribe to four, or buy one of our other chochkies. Most importantly, stay involved by reading our policy blog, listening to our podcasts, and keep spreading the word!
