Dear all,

We're not actively doing anything on "linking liability" in Brussels, but there are a few proposals on the table that push for more liability in exchange for some copyright reform.

I do think it is something that generally concerns us, but we lack a general consensus what our position on this is. Since we're not likely to have a position on it soon, the forwarded message is FYI and gives an example of what others are doing.

Cheers,
Dimi

Subject: Last Chance -- join the launch of Save The Link
To: Steve Anderson <steve@openmedia.ca>


Hi all, on Wednesday morning OpenMedia be joining organizations (EFF, Fight For The Future, Creative Commons, World Wide Web Foundation and many more) from over 17 countries to launch the http://SaveTheLink.org campaign. 

If your organization would like to join the campaign you can sign on here: 
https://openmedia.org/savethelink 

Our right to link and host links to content and services online is under threat. We believe:
"Linking is the foundation of the Web. We oppose regulations that aim to censor links to content or otherwise penalize services that utilize hyperlinks."

If you scroll down on the website you can learn about some of the threats to the 'right to link' we hope to take on. 

Please also consider joining the ThunderClap promoting the launch: https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/25637-save-the-link

best
