Mark Ruffalo, OK Go Protest Proposed Net Neutrality Changes

Mark Ruffalo, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and members of OK Go are asking the Federal Communications Commission not to change its network neutrality rules.

More than 50 stars have signed a letter to FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler, calling his proposed changes to net neutrality a threat to artistic freedom.

"The open Internet has powered the creative community’s pursuits and offerings in the 21st century," reads the letter. "As members of this community, we urge the Federal Communications Commission to protect the open Internet as a vehicle for free expression and collaboration."

The letter goes on with crediting the Internet with allowing artists to connect with audiences in unprecedented ways. "It has eliminated the barriers of geography and taken collaborations to new levels. And it has allowed people -- not corporations -- to seek out the film, music and art that moves them," the letter continues.
