A little update:
We basically asked everyone to call their MEPs, but things still look hung. Wikimedia UK and Wikimedia CZ have released public communications on the topic in the hope of getting some media traction.

Trying to get MEPs from DE, UK, HU, LU to from pro-NC to at least neutral.
The three French MEPs in this committee are at this time impossible to reach and worrying us.
Have a great Friday! Dimi

Not yet ready.
For now important is to vote against any AM that mentions NC. These are 415/417/422/423 (identical)
In the voting list it will probably be only one of them, most likely 422.

list, but let's just say that many MEPs feel insecure when it comes to copyright and the collecting societies are lobbying for NC.
The important thing now is that many MEPs vote against AMs
415/417/422/423
(identical) and the original text stands.
I also think that the original text is good and should be kept.
Do we have a voting list?
