There is a petition that you can sign protesting the Guardian's rights grab: Hi, I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed: "Photographers' rights at Guardian News and Media" http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/GNMphotographers?e I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a minute of your time. Thanks! Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
