Hey @channel!
There are some good news on the copyright front, most rapporteurs who are preparing the positions of the different parliamentary committees are making improvements to the awful Commission proposal on copyright, see for example: https://euobserver.com/digital/137164
This is not least thanks to your help over the last months! One particularly encouraging element: the rapporteurs in the culture committee and the consumer protection committee are both proposing a new copyright exception for remix!
Yesterday, at an event we organised in the European Parliament, a representative of the new Commissioner for digital affairs Andrus Ansip (he replaced Oettinger at the beginning of this year) said they were open to discussing such a remix exception!
Unfortunately the rapporteur in the lead committee on legal affairs does not propose such an exception in her report, but we have time until the end of this month to table amendments!
The more MEPs propose a remix exception to the legal affairs committee, the better our chances will be! So if you can make some buzz about this possibility, talk to MEPs from your countries etc, now is the time to do it!
