[OpenGLAM] EU Copyright Consultation - act now!

Fri Jan 10 10:46:17 UTC 2014

Dear all,

You have probably seen already a  messages on the EU copyright consultation
passing the OpenGLAM mailing list and Twitter account.
The reason for this is that it is really important to let let your voices
be heard in Europe. The commission must know what kind of issues memory
institutions run into because of copyright regulation. For more info about
its importance please read Paul Keller's recent blog:
http://pro.europeana.eu/web/guest/pro-blog/-/blogs/new-copyright-rules-for-europe-what-do-memory-institutions-want

It is however, quite a boring and time consuming document to go through.
That is why I am really happy that our friends from Open Knowledge
Foundation Germany have created two ways to make it easier for you.

You can find a simplified and filtered version on http://copywrongs.eu/.
You select what kind of issues you came across into and add comments. This
will take you max. 10 min.
If you want to take some more time and go into the full 80 question
consultation there is http://youcan.fixcopyright.eu/. Just fill in the
fields and they will transfer that to the official consultation document.

Note that this consultation is not limited to memory institutions, *anyone *who
deals with copyright (which is all of you) can fill in this document, so
please make your voices be heard!

All the best,

Joris
