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
