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.

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.

    This article13 thing wants to go into the solid foundation, and we need to keep it out.
    If you don't have anything constructive to add to the discussion, at least don't pollute it with defective ideas.

    Really now, read once again the whole thread, including this [soylentnews.org].
    Maybe you'll understand that I don't oppose governance, just have a low opinion on the government as a mean for governance.

    One can hope you also see a distinction between legislative and executive, or is it too much to ask?
