The text of Article13 and the EU Copyright Directive has just been finalised and it's utterly awful. It is clear what we do now: contact MEPs and get them to vote down the entire package.

https://juliareda.eu/2019/02/eu-copyright-final-text/

Our best bet: The final vote in the plenary of the European Parliament, when all 751 MEPs, directly elected to represent the people, have a vote. This will take place either between March 25 and 28, on April 4 or between April 15 and 18. We've already demonstrated last July that a majority against a bad copyright proposal is achievable.

    Citizens seemingly should be learning of the law only after it's all set to come into force.

    In the Netherlands it was one of the top stories in every TV news bulletin.... So where in the EU do they have a blackout?
    (Still does not make the proposal less terrible)
