Hi Christoph,
thanks for your comment. I am absolutely aware of the fact that there
have been various efforts in the past to get things done, or even:
slightly better. But in my view, it's always a matter of the burden of
suffering if you get active or not. The EU-legislation on musical
recordings and orphan works in the last year were quite frustrating
and the current consultation process on copyright reform obviously is
not aimed to solve ANY of our problems (f.i. the re-use of
governmental data & works). Without anticipating our discussion, I
would rather suggest a "hybrid" model between chapter employees and
volunteers. And if some budget for paid work in Brussels is needed, it
should definitely not be the limiting factor.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Best, Jan
Agreed, that was my hidden message. But for such endeavour to succeed
paid time and paid time in Brussels will be needed :)
