Save Online Creative Expression from FCC 'Pay-2-Play' Regulations
Stop giant corporate alliances with the FCC from passing a law to turn the Internet into a 'pay to play' environment. It will kill the business of indie bloggers, musicians, artists, craftsmen, designers and videographers.
Why is this important?
For four years my daughter Keelan and I have programmed and operated a free access showcase website and an eco-friendly fashion blog that introduce and promote unknown and emerging artists globally. Our business is small and we charge no fees to artists who wish to showcase their new projects. Therefore, our operation struggles and survives on advertising revenues and some online art sales.
If the FCC passes a law that would limit small website promoters such as vodwall.com and kikiculture.com, then our websites will not be able to compete and survive in a non-net neutrality Internet world. Further, there will be limited outlets for new artists to freely exhibit their art, writings, music and creative projects without having to pay a fee to exhibit their endeavors.
Please join Keelan and me in signing this petition and fighting for our freedom on the Internet.
