Subject: [Falkirk] EU copyright reform - links from my talk
Last night I gave a quick talk on the proposed EU Copyright Reform,
and the awful state it's in.
We *all* need to care about this - in it's current form it's going to
wreck the internet as we know it, and I don't sling phrases like that
about lightly.
You can read more about the issues with the reform on Julia Reda's
blog[1] and the Open Rights Group have a post on it as well[2]. Both
contain links to speaking with your MEP, but I'd suggest hitting up
https://www.TheyWorkForYou.com/ and getting in touch with your MP as
well - member states get a say in this as well as the MEP parties.
This is looking like a very tight vote (currently just 1 vote in favour
of it). Let's change that.
Thanks
Greg
