Pitching this to the media is a wise idea. I will work out a media
strategy for Sweden, and before the plenary vote we should try to
activate all countries which would be directly affected by a NC
condition. It is also good if we can make national governments pay
attention since the council is already discussing the Digital Single
Market Strategy, which this is a (very small) part of.<br>
<br>
Even if it's only an own-initiative report that the Legal Affairs
Committee voted on, there's a risk that the issue due to it's narrow
nature will not get enough attention from those who are our natural
allies and thus be taken over by collecting societies and the likes.<br>
<br>
While the result of the vote is disappointing, I agree that it's
fuel for the media, and we might want to shift our strategy to focus
more on getting this threat out in the open.<br>

Did anyone spot how Honeyball voted on the Wikstrom amendment
(good) and the Cavada amendment (bad) ?<br>

So, the French visual artists collecting society got their
preferred<br>
amendment through (Cavada). Unfortunately this is the worst
possible for<br>
us. It says:<br>
<br>
16.<br>
Considers that the commercial use of photographs, video
footage or other<br>
images of works which are permanently located in physical
public places<br>
should always be subject to prior authorisation from the
authors or any<br>
proxy acting for them<br>
<br>
We need to consider if we'll try to further amend it in
plenary in several<br>
weeks or we just concentrate on the Commission.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
in a few hours the Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) will
vote on the<br>
own-initiative report (not a legal instrument, but rather
a recommendation)<br>
by Julia Reda.<br>
<br>
The full name of the document is Report on the
Implementation of Directive<br>
2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of
copyright and related<br>
rights in the information society. It is about the
implementation of the<br>
current copyright framework and how it could be updated.
It is also a very<br>
first step in the process that will continue with the
Commission proposing<br>
a reform text before the end of the year.<br>
<br>
What's in it for us?<br>
<br>
- *Freedom of Panorama* is looking good as it stands,
but there is<br>
high chance of "non-commercial" being added to it.
There was no compromise<br>
on this, so we tried everything we could in the past
week.<br>
- In order for Freedom of Panorama to be preserved or
even extended,<br>
following amendments need to be rejected:
414/415/417/420/422/423/424/426<br>
- *Compromise Amendment 5* will call for "lowering the
barriers to<br>
Public Sector Information".<br>
- *Compromise Amendment 6* will say that it "urges the
Commission to clarify<br>
that once a work is in the public domain, any
digitisation of the work<br>
which does not constitute a new, transformative work,
stays in the public<br>
domain."<br>
- *Compromise Amendment 6 *will also call the
Commission to examine<br>
"whether rightholders may be given the right to
dedicate their works to the<br>
public domain, in whole or in part".<br>
- *Compromise Amendment 7* will explicitly call on the
Commission to<br>
refrain from further copyright term extentions.<br>
- While very watered down, *Compromise Amendments 10
and 11* call for<br>
at least some harmonisation by mentioning "minimum
standards across the<br>
exceptions and limitations".<br>
- *Compromise Amendments 13 and 14* try to propose
introduce an "open<br>
norm" to EU copyright, but are so watered down, that
the initial intention<br>
is almost gone. Still OK to have.<br>
- *Compromise Amendment 18* on Text and Data Mining is
rather weak,<br>
but at least it doesn't do any harm.<br>
- The paragraph on linking liability is completely
off, which is to be<br>
welcomed, since it would have gone in the wrong
direction.<br>
<br>
All in all, I am very happy and excited about Compromises
6 and 7.<br>
Compromise 5 is a step in the right direction, although
not as clear as we<br>
wanted it. Freedom of Panorama remains a major worry. In
a worst case<br>
scenario we might just want to kill it in a later stage of
the legislative<br>
process to guard the status quo if the the
"non-commercial" fixation<br>
remains this sticky.<br>
<br>
Voting should begin around 10:30.<br>
