New subject: [Advocacy Advisors] The Right to Share Vacation Pictures Online - Press Release Template

17 Feb 2015

Hi, all, esp. to Stevie and Karl.
My name is Samito Jalbuena, a member of media in the Far East. I would like
to assess the FOP issue (and what Europe may hope to desire) in my
coverage. I shall do so from an Asian POV, an outsider or a stranger.
However, my opinion will only relate back to the agenda. Control should be
realized sooner if Europe  becomes a state by normalizing one law, thus FOP
can be normatized across the board, along with other issues. (The
nation-state is outdated, or am I wrong? Is the explosion of an infinity of
laws that have no hope to be enforced  only another statement that this is
lawlessness?)  As for the text or template, I will be most honored if I may
be given permission to read it. Thank you, Stevie and Karl.

And by the way, my coverage shall be in the subtext of an art review. I
have yet to ask your opinion on what kind of art should be illegal in all
of Europe. If a vacation picture with certain monuments is a crime
according to a few outdated nation-states, I need your inputs on a work of
art that will get the artist crucified on a much wider scale. (He can rise
again on the third day because of the power of collectors, or we can use
electricity.) In other words, if thousands of Asians took pictures of the
new LV art center in Paris while knowing it was a crime is negligible
because law is empty and unenforced, then I have to ask what kind of
picture will actually ignite forces to action.

One artist has recently made a portrait of yours truly but I have told him
to wait for these important edits. Hope we can collaborate.

Sincerely yours,
Samito Jalbuena

 Hi Karl,

 Thanks for all of your work on this, I'm pleased I was able to help. It
 will be really interesting to see if this angle gets picked up in the
 press.

 If the story gets coverage anywhere it would be great to see any links.

 Thanks and regards,

 Stevie

  Hi all,

 I have written a template for a press release on the Freedom of Panorama
 issue. The message is that the European Parliament is now noticing the
 little known restrictions on sharing pictures of buildings and monuments
 online. We welcome this and point out that people in general have no idea
 that they are not permitted to share their vacation pictures online when
 traveling in countries such as France, Italy and Greece. (Thank you  Stevie
  for your excellent edits!)

 If you are interested in spreading the word in your country, or if you
 know someone who is, contact me and I will share the template with you.

 What you have to do is translate the text. You are, of course, free to
 change it as you see fit.

 As far as sending out the press release is concerned, I have written a
 brief how-to guide at:
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy/how-to/press_release

 If you have little time but would like to participate, I'd be happy to
 compile a list of media outlets in your country and send out the  translated
  press release with you as point of reference for
journalists who have
 follow-up questions.

 Hope to hear from you.

 Best Regards,
 Karl
