Greetings all.
Perhaps a bit late to the party, Wikimedia Denmark sent a letter (link https://dk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dokumenter/Brev_af_17._marts_2018_til_Kulturministeren_ang._EU-kommissionens_foresl%C3%A5ede_direktiv_om_ophavsret) to the Danish Minister for Culture (the government official responsible for the area of copyright) yesterday, explaining why article 11 & 13 of the proposed copyright directive are problematic. There's no English translation, but it's pretty much just a rephrasing of the arguments in the template provided in the january monitoring report with a bit of local issues/context thrown in as well. Hopefully they will at least be persuaded to go from "inclined" to "skeptical".
All the best Matthias Smed Larsen WMDK Vice Chairman
Thank you, Matthias!
This is very much appreciated. I will transfer it also to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Public_Policy_Consultations for the archive.
