Petition to RealNetworks to cancel 'Freedom of Music Choice' publicity stunt 




A new petition has been created (currently with over 1600 signatures and growing) by Michael-Luke Jones in response to RealNetworks' "Freedom of Music Choice" publicity stunt and related petition(s):

To:  RealNetworks Inc.

We, The Undersigned, believe the Real should cancel their latest publicity stunt: http://www.freedomofmusicchoice.org/ which seems to be an entirely self-centered move to keep themselves in the Music Download business rather than (as it purports to be) an act of Consumer-driven expression. We also believe that Real's move to cancel their previous petition by adding another without comments seems to be stifling some consumers' voices in choosing a different download service, which seems rather at odds to their supposed message.

We do not necessarily believe that there should not be freedom of consumer choice in music is wrong or that projects such as Hymn are morally or legally corrupt but feel that Real is choosing a shameless stunt geared towards their own ends rather than somehow championing the consumer.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
