[Foundation-l] European Commission Green Paper - Copyright in the Knowledge Economy

[effe iets anders]

It doesn't really matter what was on their mind, even though I also disagree
on what is on their mind. It matters that the discussion has been broken
open, and that it will be on the agenda of the commission and after that the
parliament. If it is on the agenda, it is time for a little lobby and try to
push *our* points, and let not the discussion be focused on potential 70->90
issues. So there are two reasons even to be involved. To push positive
points, and to prevent negative changes.
