Dear Aussiepedians, As some of you may have seen by now - the banner campaign is now LIVE and kicking.
Peter Martin, wrote an excellent article for SMH/Age/Canberra Times, and it is doing REALLY well on social media (apparently "Fair Use" is trending on twitter in australia): http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/fair-use-wikipedia- targets-australians-in-bid-to-change-the-law-20170521-gw9kzq.html (Do have a read of the comments there too - they're super positive). There's been several ABC radio stories done this morning by Jess (ADA) and Jon (EFA) and the press-release they sent out early this morning is beginning to be picked up by others (SaturdayPaper, GizmodoAus...) Reddit has noticed too: https://np.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/6cg8d0/ fair_use_wikipedia_targets_australians_in_bid_to/ The Meta page, where the banners go, is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FairCopyrightOz (and details of the banner designs are on the talkpage) - hashtag for those on social media is #FairCopyrightOz And the main point of the campaign from an 'influencing politicians' point of view is the number of letters sent via the campaign website: https://www.faircopyright.org.au/take-action/ (almost 60 and it's only just gone 9am in Sydney)! If you are interested in this topic, please write a letter to your MP as well! All the best, -Liam / Wittylama
