The folks behind this push, however, might get in a little trouble. I’m not sure if they’ll get in trouble for zombification of the dead, or for forging signatures. One way or another, however, those folks got some long dead musicians and artists, as well as quite a few non-British musicians and artists to supposedly sign on. And then got caught. Ooops.

Bamforth, This is about protecting the length of performance rights. It isn't affecting the copyright of the underlying music or words. What I find most disingenuous about the advert, is at the bottom is the claim that it is on behalf of over 3500 record companies and 40000 artists. How do we know this? Have the got a big petition with over 40000 arists' names on it? Or is it just another unsubstantiated claim by the record biz. I know which option my money is on. S. Bamforth,

Rather than finding dead people, it'd be nice if the live people on the list could be polled to see if they do actually believe what they are being stated as believing. Also, I'm shocked that Simon Rattle and Louis Frémaux (Who, as conductors of mostly out of copyright music, must understand the need to limit the extension of copyright) would sign this.
