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.

The constitution would not prevent us to returning to the definition of "limited time" that we used in the past.
I think most of the problems would be resolved if we just made "limited time" equal to five or ten years.

I agree we should have done that long ago, but that doesn't give the states the power to do so on their own initiative.
