Hi all,

It's good to see how our views on Freedom of Panorama and NC conditions are beginning to get heard around Europe.

As you know, there is a vote on July 9 on the Julia Reda report. The report, after being amended in the Legal Affairs Committee, includes a proposal to exclude commercial use from the European FoP copyright exception. Our job is to make the parliament remove this particular proposal from the report.

One thing that I will try in Sweden is to get friendly MEPs to tweet that they are supporting us in preserving current FoP rights. By tweeting, parliamentarians solidify their position in public and are more likely to convince colleagues to go along with them.

Tweets that confirm MEP positions also help us monitor our progress and show Wikimedians that the effort makes a difference. Feel free to do the same in other European countries.

Best, Karl
