Protect Copyright Laws That Create Real Jobs

Copyright is vitally important to the millions of us in every state who get up every morning to make an honest living in the creative industries or whose job orbits the creative economy. For example, over $200,000 per day is injected into local economies during a major film shoot, with much of the money going to businesses like hotels, lumberyards, restaurants, car rental companies, and others.

Creative communities across the country are united in the belief that copyright is the legal engine that creates millions of jobs. Copyright allows Americans to support their families and pay their bills.

We are now reaching out to you – audiences, fans, fellow creatives, hardworking Americans whose jobs depend on the creative communities – to ask that you add your voice. Our letter states that while the internet is a powerful and democratizing force, we must ensure a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy.

Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, a liberal, conservative or libertarian, strong and effective copyright is not a partisan issue but rather one that benefits our entire country. Copyright is a meaningful way to strengthen America’s job market.

We ask that you stand with us in support of copyright by adding your name to this letter – to show elected officials that jobs matter. We stand united, we #StandCreative.
