I'm afraid that I can't sign that petition. ^_^
You're right, but I see it as "geeting one's foot in the door". The abolition of copyright law in the near future is unlikely.
BTW, I hope Lessig will publish a list of the "works using public domain", there might be some interresting projects for us.

I.e. why a patient cannot use Injectable Omeprazol in Europe sometimes ??. Because there is only one producer of it. For me, there is rights higher than immaterial property.
