Michael, I think you're right.
BUT I also think that all the headlines about "your holiday photographs are threatened" are not ideal, because they give those who created the JURI text too easy a way to sidestep away and claim "you've misunderstood our proposal".
That's why personally I'd prefer the debate to centre on use that *is* unambiguously commercial (and for our own material to reflect that) -- and to win that debate on the grounds of freedom, access to knowledge, creativity, the "potentially damaging restriction of the debate about architecture and public space" as RIBA put it, and part of the very soul of public art being the public discussion it then sets up.

The argument that personal Facebook uploads are 'non-commercial' does not hold water.
Any private individual who uploads personal photographs to a social media website will be affected, as most sites require users to warrant that their uploads do not not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. Anybody using social media to share even private photographs that include a modern building or streetscape within the view will be in breach of the warranty and will be at significant legal risk.
Also, many websites state in their small print that uploads are automatically licensed to the site owner under a worldwide non-exclusive licence for any purpose (even commercial). Uploaders will not be in a position to grant such a licence, as they will no longer be the sole copyright owner of their own photographs.
The relevant clauses in the Facebook legal terms can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
2.1 For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy https://www.facebook.com/privacy/ and application settings https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License).
5.1 You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law.

He has to be convinced then that the commercial sharing is not as simple issue as it is believed by Svoboda.

i've contacted ŠTEFANEC Ivan ivan.stefanec@europarl.europa.eu with some mixed results.
he believes in press release by pavel svoboda http://us9.campaign-archive2.com/?u=0519b32bd74df1cad7d02aa01&id=3d98dde... http://us9.campaign-archive2.com/?u=0519b32bd74df1cad7d02aa01&id=3d98dde117
which says that "of course, facebook photos are non commercial". which i doubt.
but after a second email:
Každopádne je jasné, že presadzujem slobodu šírenia záberov okolia bez obmedzenia a podľa toho budem aj hlasovať.
It is evident, that I acitvelly support freedom of spreading of panorama photos without (any) restrictions and I will vote according to this.

Perhaps you can ask then to either join her effort or to take it up themselves. Will send you the AM text, but Schaake still hasn't
tabled it.

We
need especially EPP ones to help it to send a message. If you
could find
some from SK, that would be awesome!
As for a press release, the EN signpost article is very
comprehensive:
