<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2398166, member: 39&quot;]Update: According to the <a href="https://www.openpetition.de/petition/blog/fuer-den-erhalt-des-privaten-sammelns" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.openpetition.de/petition/blog/fuer-den-erhalt-des-privaten-sammelns" rel="nofollow">petition blog</a>, the Bundestag&#039;s Cultural Affairs Committee refused to formally receive the petition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Quote: <i>&quot;44.500 citizens have signed the petition &#039;For preserving the right to privately collect&#039;. They are representing these millions of German collectors who are not yet aware that the new law will affect collecting.&quot;</i> Now keep in mind that the original goal was 120,000 signatures. Of those 44,500 only about 33,000 came from people in Germany. Also, I find it somewhat presumptuous to claim that whoever did not sign is simply unaware of the issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another quote: <i>&quot;For good reasons, the platform chosen for this petition was not the petition platform of the German Bundestag, but the neutral platform &#039;openpetition&#039;, because it ensures, that personal data of signers will not be passed on to third parties.&quot;</i> Yes, I understand why collectors of possibly valuable items may not want to see their contact info made public. Then again that is one of the drawbacks if one chooses to not use the parliament&#039;s petition platform but a third party site like OpenPetition or Change.org ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
