Copyright Alliance’s Letter to the White House

I’m passing on this call to action from the APA and the Copyright Alliance and I hope you will pass it on, too. I also suggest watching the video “Copyright in the Classroom” on the homepage. If you teach or have children in school, their study courses and teaching aids are excellent.

Dear Friend of APA,

Advertising Photographers of America is partnering with the Copyright Alliance in asking you to sign a letter that is being sent to President Obama and Vice President Biden. APA’s advocacy efforts to support strong copyright protections for photographers and all owners of intellectual property are a vital component of our mission. With the threat of further erosion of copyright protections on the horizon, sending a message now to the President is an opportunity that should not be missed.

The Copyright Alliance is a non-partisan coalition of associations, creators and copyright industry leaders that give a voice to individual authors of creative content including photographers. This letter allows your voice to be heard in cooperation and inclusion with creatives from all areas of intellectual property.

Let the White House know that their support is critical to the protection of the rights of artists and the continued value of creative efforts in today’s society.

Go to www.copyrightalliance.org/letter/ to sign the letter. It is an easy process of entering your name, city, state, type of artist and email address. Click the sign button and you’re all done.

Once you have signed the letter please forward it on to your colleagues and friends in all areas of creative output.

Thank you.
Theresa Raffetto, President APA National
Stephen Best, CEO APA National
