CDL Appeal signatories' logos

As working writers, translators, photographers, and graphic artists; as unions, organizations, and federations representing the creators of works included in published books; as book publishers; and as reproduction rights and public lending rights organizations; we oppose so-called Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) as a flagrant violation of copyright and authors’ rights.
