As some of you may know, YouTube's Content ID system has been plaguing content creators for a while now. People try to review stuff or make transformative works, but various major companies have been automatically taking down videos, because they might have used even the tiniest amount of their work, even though it's used in a perfectly legal way. In other cases, companies have been shutting up critics, who have bad opinions about their product, completely crossing the line. So far, YouTube hasn't done anything about it and hasn't given the content creators a chance to fight false copyright claims back. But, there seems to be hope. We can now send a petition to the U.S. government to look into the issue and put a stop to all this bullshit! But we don't have much time left. ONLY 14 HOURS!

I've been trying to spread the world about the Fair Use thing for a while now and I want as many people to understand what's going on and help us fight off corporate greed. So I ask you, if you care about your favorite reviewers, let's players or youtubers as a whole, to go to this site and send your comment (if you don't know what to write, they have already written one for you. You just have to send it). Hopefully, this will get as much attention as it needs.
For more information, check out this video by Doug Walker(The Nostalgia Critic).
NOTE: This is NOT an April Fools joke, this is real. Please, take action, while you still can.
Thanks!
