This is just a comment on an important marketing characteristic. If the pro-copyright side
is trying to co-opt the concept of 'creators' as indicating *them*, this would be
a particular issue to push back on - and Wikimedians in particular want to be recognized
as creators.
(In general, people are much more likely to support creators, and less likely to support a
rather small number of corporations who own or manage the rights of creative works.)

Hi, Aktron-
First, thanks for all your contributions on-wiki! Much appreciated - hope you like my
answers (all of which are up now for people to review/discuss/use for their own answers).
About the other groups - do you think the community should be doing more to get
Wikimedians to submit answers? I'm open to the idea, but not sure how best to make
that happen (or even if it is a good idea- Dimi?)

Luis,
Two days ago I've been informed about the fact that institutions that are standing on
the other side of the barrier (ie. so-called "creators") already have their own
initiative (creators for Europe) and they massively spam all the "creators",
asking for their support (ie. against free knowledge and for more strict protection of
their position - the good topic might be the PD-70 deadline that is also currently ... a
matter of negotiation).
As far as I can see, the number of responses sent to the Commission from them is supposed
to be similar to what Copywrongs sent (cca 3k), so it is an interesting question what the
final result will be.
I also got informations that certain political (ie. Pirate) parties plan to post
billboards (tens of them) to support the copyright consultations and to make the general
public more engaged in this. So we'll see - I am also posting this so that WM will be
aware about things that are currently going on.

Quick query - given the extensions, have we filed the WMF submission
yet or are we holding off for further comments through February? Not
clear from the meta page...

Thanks for the update. Not sure how
"terrific" I find that news, personally,
given that I have spent around 20 hours over the last two days working to
meet the original deadline!
Best regards

That's terrific to hear!
As an update on my end, I've done up to question 71, so this gives us a
little more time to review and flesh those out.
[For what it is worth, Michael, looking at the page here shows:
From 05.12.2013 to 05.03.2014 (deadline extended).
