Hi guys,

We only have one week left on the www.rightcopyright.eu campaign - I know a lot of you have already signed, thank you! If you have not: what are you waiting for!?

We still need a lot of signatures to get to our goal, and a couple of days to make it. As you know we are collecting signatures to let the policymakers in Brussels know we need a better copyright for education. Right now, education exceptions are fragmented across Europe, which make sharing online difficult to do legally. We want to make sure we have equal rights for educators across the EU, and this includes museums, libraries, archives and other heritage institutions. Help us to achieve this goal by signing and sharing the petition.

Please share to everyone and their mother the link to sign. We have the website in 13 European languages so you can share widely to people who are not English readers.

You can:

1. Retweet this: https://twitter.com/communia_eu/status/860788880445976576 or make your own tweet

2. Share this on Facebook: “You may not know it, but you are breaking the law. Help us change this: bit.ly/rightcpy #rightcopyright”

3. Share this e-mail with mailing lists, friends/colleagues:

“Dear ****,

All over Europe, you are working towards shaping a new education system. A system that is collaborative, open and invites you to make the most of the tools and technologies around you. Unfortunately, copyright laws haven’t changed for over fifteen years, and this is affecting you every day.

We would like to invite you to join us in our mission to shape the future of education now. Let’s make copyright right. Right now.

Are you with us? Sign the petition at rightcopyright.eu.

We really appreciate your support!

[Name + email signature]”

5. All of the above :slightly_smiling_face:

Please let me know if there are any questions or remarks,
