* Launch a joint fundraising campaign to donate to the FSF, EFF, Public Knowledge, and Creative Commons on behalf of ASCAP and NMPA in response to their letter opposing free culture. All that would be needed is a simple website which has one page explaining the issue, and another with links to these organizations to donate/join. This could also be done for ACTA. --[[User:Dpic|Dpic]] 15:13, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
