[Advocacy Advisors] Fwd: Last Chance -- join the launch of Save The Link

[Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov]

Dear all,

We're not actively doing anything on "linking liability" in Brussels, but
there are a few proposals on the table that push for more liability in
exchange for some copyright reform.

I do think it is something that generally concerns us, but we lack a
general consensus what our position on this is. Since we're not likely to
have a position on it soon, the forwarded message is FYI and gives an
example of what others are doing.

Cheers,
Dimi

Hi all, on Wednesday morning OpenMedia be joining organizations (EFF, Fight
For The Future, Creative Commons, World Wide Web Foundation and many more)
from over 17 countries to launch the http://SaveTheLink.org
<http://savethelink.org/> campaign.

If your organization would like to join the campaign you can sign on here:
https://openmedia.org/savethelink

Our right to link and host links to content and services online is under
threat. We believe:
"Linking is the foundation of the Web. We oppose regulations that aim to
censor links to content or otherwise penalize services that utilize
hyperlinks."

If you scroll down on the website <https://savethelink.org/> you can learn
about some of the threats to the 'right to link' we hope to take on.

Please also consider joining the ThunderClap promoting the launch:
