EFF petition collected over 22,000 names only needed 10,000

Just a quick note to update an earlier article submitted by taddzilla. A couple days ago, the Electronic Frontier Foundation posted a petition in order to represent the public in Congress among other things. They were asking for 10,000 names. Here is the total as of 10:00 PM Mountain time in the United States.

We have 22247 signatures so far. We've passed our goal of 10,000 - this is amazing! Anyone who signs the petition over the weekend will have their name on the document we deliver to Congress. Make your voice heard!

Looks lke the RIAA has struck a nerve with some folks.
Piracy isn't right but apparently what's happening to folks in the courts
isn't quite right either. This is a very significant  public
response in such a short time.
