[Wikimedia-l] UK.Gov passes Instagram Act

[Nikolas Becker]

Hi everyone!

I am sorry for replying to this week-old thread, but I just read it and
wanted to take the chance adding a short hint:

There is a (relatively new) Wikimedia working group on EU policy [1] with
an explicit "task force" for the orphan works issue:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy/Orphan_Works

It seems like some of you are interested in this topic, so maybe you would
like to join them.
The working group also set up a "letterbox" where you can drop any
news/link/whatever that you consider relevant:

Best
Nikolas
