[OpenGLAM] EU copyright consultation - final days to respond

Tue Mar 4 11:06:29 UTC 2014

Dear all,

You've probably all read a lot already on the ongoing Public consultation
on the review of EU copyright
rules<http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/consultations/2013/copyright-rules/index_en.htm>,
which provides all of us an opportunity to push for a change on several
important copyright issues, facilitating the future of a digital cultural
commons that is freely accessible for everyone to enjoy.

The final deadline to respond is 5 March: more background information on
the consultation, with a special focus on cultural heritage institutions is
available here:

Best, Lieke
