Really like the idea of flagging certain images with a light box, I think
it's very clever.
I know that some chapter staff and volunteers are working really hard to
get some traction on this important issue Wikimedia UK is leading on a
letter to the press which will be signed by other cultural and related
bodies. Should be going out early this week. I know that a volunteer has
written to Jimmy about this to see what publicity he can attract as well.
Dimi, the movement's Wikimedian in Brussels, along with Karl Sigfrid and
others, has been working on this for months, too. There's a real
co-ordinated effort to push back on this.

Actually, considering how effective the blackout was for SOPA, I think
another action based on the most prominent images we stand to lose would be
in order. So the take on the London Eye and maybe some popular buildings,
art and bridges in Euro-FoP countries? I don't know if you could rig a java
script to flag these with a red lightbox that links to the Commons page,
but that would probably be more effective than any other lobbying efforts

Are WMF and the European affiliates allowed to
lobby regarding this
issue?
The WMF could lobby or support lobbying on such an issue. It is eligible
to spend up to $1M per year tax-free on lobbying. But I don't believe it
has directly engaged in anything of the sort, since the SOPA action.
