This petition is designed to bring pressure on the NRL to stop its interference on websites that promote rugby league. Particularly in regards to youtube.com where fans post clips and tributes to the game. We see it as an attack on the promotion of rugby league and by extension limit the exposure the sponsors of rugby league in the general market. We cannot see any real valid reason for the NRL taking such an action.

The NRL continues to silence our community by pulling down fan tributes and highlight reels. Email your local club representative today to demand they stop these unnecessary copyright strikes. We need to remind them that fan content is the best marketing they have.

The momentum behind this push proves that fans are tired of seeing rugby league content wiped from the internet. Post this link on your Facebook feed today. We need to keep up this pressure until the NRL changes its policy.

If they keep taking down tribute vids people will just stop caring. Its just free advertising for them anyway. Wake up!

Ridiculous. YouTube is how people actually discover the sport. Stop being so greedy.
