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.
