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.

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).
