If you recently received a subpoena or threatening notice related to P2P file trading from a copyright owner, we invite you to participate in a new web site.

Copywrongs.org is a clearinghouse and connection point for individuals who are the subjects of P2P-related copyright enforcement actions, and a place for the public to learn first-hand about what's going on. Our first project is to offer blogs to all who have been subjected to digital copyright enforcement actions, particularly those who have been caught in the avalanche of RIAA music-trading subpoenas that began in July.

File traders and the public need to hear about the side effects of these legal actions. The press and lawmakers need to meet you as a person with a life and family - and they need to understand how these unprecedented moves against consumers affect both. The music and movie industries need to understand the hows and whys of file trading as well as the many other issues surrounding copyrighted works in a digital age.

Your words can help keep the issue fresh and in the public mind instead of fading from view with fickle news cycles.

We encourage everyone affected by the subpoenas to open a blog at the copywrongs.org now, and to begin writing individually or in collaboration with others in the same situation. BLOGS MAY BE PUBLISHED ANONYMOUSLY, and once you are set up we maintain no identifying information about you. We plan to add tools to help you get in touch with others who are facing the same problems you are, and to help you hear from the public and press via anonymous e-mail.

Copywrongs.org is an all-volunteer project whose goals are (1) to help the targets of p2p-related legal attacks find and collaborate with one another; (2) to educate the public, press and lawmakers about the real impact of these unprecedented legal actions against file traders; (3) to promote discussion and creative thought about solutions to the digital intellectual property dilemma that threatens both the future of creative industries and the freedom of individuals.
