Do petitions work?

I received an email today in response to an e-petition signed by 3,295 people asking the Prime Minister “to create a new exception to copyright law that gives individuals the right to create a private copy of copyrighted materials for their own personal use, including back-ups, archiving and shifting format.”

You can view the outcome here.

UPDATE: What’s the cost of e-mailing 1.8m people?
