Speech just wants to be free

The debates have been broadcast. As of 19.50 on 18 May 2007, this petition is now closed. Thanks to everyone who signed. It was partially successful. One of the political parties invovled agreed, but RTÉ didn't. Better luck next time, eh?

To:  Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ)

Speech just wants to be free. We, the undersigned, therefore call on Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) to make the video of the debate between Bertie Ahern and Enda Kenny, on the 'Prime Time' tv programme on Thursday 17 May 2007 next, widely available online. In particular, we call on RTÉ to ensure that all video footage from this debate would be able to be shared and re-used online (whether on video sites like YouTube, or on websites, blogs, or the like) without any uploader, user, downloader or commentator being deemed to have infringed copyright or otherwise to have acted unlawfully simply for having done so.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
