Japanese doujinshi market in danger? - PETITION

There are currently negotiations going on for Japan to join the so-called TPP - Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. If Japan agreed to it, this would have serious effects on copyright regulations and thus on the whole doujinshi, cosplay, manga culture.

Please read the following pages for more information:
www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/… (general effects on manga industry and doujinshi)
www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/… (effects on cosplay)
www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/… (some more general information)

AND please sign this petition: wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/… (It doesn't matter if you live in the US. Please sign, since this is an international agreement which might affect anyone!)
(On that page there's also a short explanation which other effects TPP has outside of the manga industry.)

Every help is needed!

Since the deadline is in the end of December, let's make it a "christmas miracle"! ^_^ There are still so many votes needed.
