Current Proposals

• European Commission copyright consultation

The European Commission is considering modernizing European copyright laws. To get feedback and input on this modernization, the Commission published a series of questions, and asked organizations (like ours) to answer them. This was an important opportunity to influence EU copyright laws, and therefore an important opportunity for us to influence the future of the free knowledge movement. More background is available from the European Commission.

Submission

We submitted our finalized answers to the European Commission on March 4th, 2014. Thank you to everyone who participated!
