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
