So, to be clear: are we all waiting for a Great Leader to step up, start
coordinating and handing out the orders according to his/her master plan?
Or shall WE start coordinating here and now, what shall WE do, quickly?
This is our Internet which will be ruined.
Regards,
Eva

I believe a coordinated effort could have good effects. The proposal
as it is right now (there will be trilogues next week that may change
it) is so bad that it might be possible to sway some MEP votes to
completely block the directive.

In reply to Eva's question ("Do your chapters have an action
plan?"). No, at the moment WMNL does not have a plan yet. Will
there be coordinated action by Wikimedia affiliates like last year?

Dear all,
the conclusion to the copyright directive is approaching. The
outcome
seems to be horrible, as described for example here:
https://twitter.com/paul_keller/status/1092912540194099200
or here: https://juliareda.eu/2019/02/article-13-worse/
Implementation of article 11 (link tax) and article 13 (content
filtering) will have a severely negative impact on the digital
environment. We don't know how much the link tax will affect the
references in Wikipedia and Wikidata yet. As such, we cannot
predict how
much poorer the new liability regime will make our digital
environment.
The numerous outcries of digital rights organizations
regarding the loss
of freedom of speech and expression should be our concern, too.
The final plenary vote will most probably take place in March
or April,
some weeks before the elections of the next European
Parliament. It
will be the last chance to stop this disaster, after that we
shall be
left with damage control. Do your chapters have an action plan?
Best regards
