The HK government is currently working on a DMCA for Hong Kong that is being lead by industry feedback without any significant balance from content creators and private citizens. If we don’t give feedback now, we will be stuck with less rights than we have now and it will be our own fault. This impacts both companies and individuals.
What can you do?
You can find the whole thing here, including some responses to the last round of consultation:

http://www.legco.gov.hk/yr10-11/english/bc/bc10/papers/bc10_d.htm
Give well thought out responses and tell anyone else that hasn’t heard of it.
Any submissions for feedback needs to be submitted by March 2nd.
