Luis,
The problem is that the form published by the Commission is very hard to understand. I had myself a lot of problems with interpretation of some of the questions and I do believe I was not the only one.
It would be a good idea to have something like copywrongs.eu - more simplified. People might be willing to participate more in that, because they can understand it better.
A few things we could do: - load it into http://youcan.fixcopyright.eu/ - I assume, but don't actually know - Dimi? - pick a subset of questions and load them into http://copywrongs.eu/ - not sure I have the time to do the picking of the subset; perhaps folks here who have played with copywrongs might suggest which ones would work best?
But it seems like neither of them is worthwhile unless we are also committed to promote the link pretty broadly so that Wikimedians are actually encouraged to use the site to submit things. That's really the question - should someone do that?

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).
