We have an opportunity to stop Article 13 and Article 11, which will be devastating to the freedom of the Internet in Europe. The question is: do we have the courage to do it, do we have the courage to stand for what is right?

[Jimmy Wales @jimmy_wales]

This is important: the EU copyright directive is not about protecting artists, it's about propping up failing giants and destroying small competitors.

[Jimmy Wales @jimmy_wales]

Don't be fooled by false claims that the latest text of the EU Copyright directive exempts small businesses - part of the definition is "less than 3 years old". Many of the great small places on the Internet are much older. #fixcopyright #copyright #eucopyright
