Yup. Admittedly a bit naïvely, but here's something I wrote some time ago: http://rys.io/en/78 http://rys.io/en/80 > Now, Julia Reda is in charge of the draft proposals for copyright reform > in the EU.

Absolutely. She's already getting some flak from the copyright reform maximalists, but I think that even a small positive change in the copyright regime in the EU would be a huge step forward. And there is no way we're going to make any large changes, not with IFPI, ZAiKS and other "MAFIAA"'s of the EU. > Amelia and Julia are rockstars.
