Hi Dimitar, thanks for your great effort!
I am pretty sure that many people on the list feel the urgency of joining forces in order to prevent new EU-directives which aim towards new protecting rights (like in the case of musical recordings) or hamper the incentives for free re-usage of cultural goods (like in the case of orphan workshttp://www.wikimedia.de/images/4/43/120810_WMDE_Statement_On_Orphan_Works.pdf). It's necessary to professionalize the way how we address our concerns, if we want to make a difference in Bruxelles.
I will until January try to come up with a set of ideas/proposals/demands, that can hopefully be discussed in the Wikimedia movement (especially the European chapters)
I'll be glad to contribute. Maybe we should also think about a RL meeting for all Wikipedians/Wikimedians who like to be part of the process.
I believe after ACTA blew up the Commission will be much more willing to
listen and cooperate.
This optimistic stance ist also shared by EDRI http://www.edri.org/. On the other hand, these folks (together with "La Quadrature Du Net") are curently the only "progressive" voices getting heard. Therefore we should also think about the best way to have a real impact against the armada of professional lobbyists paid by the copyright industries.
Best, Jan
