We are #copyfighters. We want a Europe where sharing, innovation, and copyright go hand in hand.

Why the German proposal for implementation of #Article17, notably a new exception for insignificant uses of copyrighted content, is compatible with EU law: https://t.co/K9I8ffWqUz (still leaves open the question whether #Article17 itself is compatible with fundamental rights.)

The @EPPlenary just agreed to the EPP not-really-a-compromise amendments on #linktax and #uploadfilters. Sucks to see them in favor of #censorship and breaking the internet

#Uploadfilters would block not just this GIF, but much of fan culture: Article 13, and especially a proposed new copyright for sports events would spell disaster for sports fans https://t.co/EMwNuZUqO9 (with @ddalton40) #SaveYourInternet

Kudos to the @copyfighters and all those who campaign constantly for a fair Copyright Reform without #uploadfilters, without #censorshipmachines, without #linktax ! #SaveYourInternet #FixCopyright

Great success: Your protests have worked! The European Parliament has sent the copyright law back to the drawing board. All MEPs will get to vote on #uploadfilters and the #linktax September 10–13. Now let's keep up the pressure to make sure we #SaveYourInternet!

We can still turn this around! The #linktax and #uploadfilters passed a critical hurdle today. But in just 2 weeks, all 751 MEPs will be asked to take a stand either for or against a free & open internet. The people of Europe managed to stop ACTA, we can #SaveYourInternet again!

“An unprecedented step towards surveillance and control” looms, warn @timberners_lee, @jimmy_wales and others – #SaveYourInternet by calling your MEP right now and asking them what they're doing to avert that: https://t.co/c5o52ZSzJD

[Felix Reda @Senficon]

Update: Member State governments have just adopted their position on #copyright, with no significant changes to the #CensorshipMachines and #LinkTax provisions. It is now up to Parliament to stop them and #FixCopyright. https://t.co/1JwNvQn24n

[Christopher Clay @c3o]

Many are wishing they had paid more attention to the #GDPR when it was decided, not just when they need to implement it (whatever its merits). Now is your last chance to influence EU #copyright before you need to implement/live with terrible upload filters and the “link tax”. https://t.co/5RDeGoQCH9

Unfair Licences prevent teachers and students from legally comparing, verifying and updating information and knowledge. Help us make good #copyright for education. #FixCopyright https://t.co/ArhUeF2n5s

#FakeNews is the newest justification for the EU #linktax – and the fakest. In fact, there is widespread agreement: Putting a price tag on spreading articles will make the problem worse. Read more: https://t.co/tvm08Gg2Uq #FixCopyright

Sad to see that @sverigesradioP1 is falling for this spin, instead of reporting on the real dangers that this #copyright reform is posing to everyone #censorshipmachines #linktax #fixcopyright https://t.co/wiHNZYXr1Y

[Bernhard Hayden @burnoutberni]

.@martamyr I just heard your report for @SR_Kultur on #copyright reform (https://t.co/7romUr35wX). Unfortunately, there are some factual errors: For starters, the proposal is not going to help artists against Youtube, which already has a filtering system in place. #fixcopyright https://t.co/YGyZZXYd86

As if the #LinkTax proposal wasn't bad enough: It seems like @AxelVossMdEP didn't learn anything out of the #CanonAEDE failure in Spain and wants to copy/paste the model to the EU level. https://t.co/z7e0CyXjkl

Breaking: @AxelVossMdEP wants the European Parliament to double down on the #LinkTax law that threatens our democratic right to be informed https://t.co/xyNejbCedx #SaveTheLink
